When you buy bottles items in Germany, you pay extra as a deposit. With everyone doing this, you can imagine the volume of items being brought back to the store. I didn't quite know how it worked until I noticed this sign. Leergut-annahme means returned empties.
There aren't any employess involved with the customer returns. There only these machines. Single bottles go in the round hole on top and full cases go on the bottom. The value is calculated by reading the bar code. Don't peel the labels off you bottles!
There goes a case of Diet Coke.
After you have returned everything, a receipt is printed with the total. It can be used to reduce the amount you pay for groceries or I assume to get cash back from a checker.
