Owner of Sari-Sari Store Left Disheartened Due to Inconsiderate Customers
The owner of a sari-sari store felt disheartened when her customers did not return the empty bottles of soft drinks they had purchased.
Implementing a deposit system for soft drink bottles promotes recycling and responsible waste management. When customers pay a deposit, they are more likely to return the empty bottles to reclaim their money.
This method encourages a cycle of reuse, reducing the environmental impact associated with single-use plastics. This reduction in packaging costs allows store owners to allocate resources more efficiently and maintain competitive pricing.
The deposit system for soft drink bottles encourages a sense of shared responsibility within the community. Customers become more mindful of returning the bottles to the store.
Sari-sari stores adopting soft drink bottle deposits align with sustainable business practices. As consumers increasingly value environmentally conscious choices, stores implementing eco-friendly initiatives are likely to attract more customers.
A Facebook user named Jing Kie shared photo of crates with soft drink bottles, revealing that about two crates were lacking bottles due to some customers not returning them. Her sentiments garnered comments from netizens.
The business owner explained that she doesn’t require a deposit for soft drink bottles because nobody will buy if she demands for it.
“2 KAHA na ng soft drinks ko Ang Walang bote, Di Kasi Ako nagpapadeposit, Kasi Wala na bibili if mag deposit Ako,” she said.

“BINAYARAN NA PO…nahiya siguro pinaskil Ang pangalan ng mga Di bumalik ng bote,” the store owner said.
The online community commented on her sentiments:
