Return and Earn not working NSW ?

[trustyrusty]

Hi There, I have collected a few bottles, in all about $40.00 - not a lot for the effort. But instead of using PAYPAL I thought I would get coupons and then go straight to Dan Murphies, .... No you have to go to Woolworths first to get cash,
another stop.... mmmmmmmmmmm I can see why not working... anyhow

Does anyone know the difference in South Australia - why has it worked for 40 years there... ? There must be a simple reason and why NSW did not look at that?

Has not been corrupted by big business.

Because the SA system is simple. No machines, no coupons, no bullshit. You show up with bottles separated from cans, and they count/weight/eyeball it, write down a number, and send you over to the till to collect cash.

Such a system doesn't provide many opportunities for corporate profiteering, so something more complex had to be designed...

That is what I thought .... NSW probably got huge kick back from machines put in...
