The Can Man

I visited the Johnson city site today and bcuz of what I thought was previous shortages on the number of bottles/​cans I started counting the one I was bringing. After counting 12 of the bags I had a total of 806 bottles/​cans and still had 2 more bags but figured w/​an average of 67 cans per bag the total would be arnd 940, maybe more bcuz the 2 remaining bags were mostly cans. After the man counted as he showed me the slip he said I had over 900 and what I could see was 3×123 on one line and 3×200 on another. When the woman said it $ 43 and change I asked her what the count was and she said 723 I asked her was she sure and she looked at the slip and said yeah, 723. I don’t know if this is company policy or this woman doing this on her own but either way over a day or a week someone is stealing a lot of money. Needless to say I will not be returning and neither will anybody I know, especially when I have confirmed suspicions they had themselves

Anytime I visit the can man, it takes forever. The average time I have to spend there is generally around a half hour to forty — five minutes. The fact that a human can take so long to count cans is mind boggling. They don’t recycle your cans that they don’t take, which makes no sense to me. If a bank teller can count hundreds of dollars in a minute or so, what is the difference with cans? The only positive is that you don’t have to count your own cans. The place is also filthy. There are stains and gunk all over the walls. I understand it’s a can redemption center but I don’t think the place has ever been cleaned. You could simply paint over it. Not to mention the freak show where you get your cash for the cans. I’m surprised these people are in charge of money handling. Needless to say, if you have a better option I’d recommend doing it.
