Hey rey,
What is your experience of CA not paying?
PS, they put sales tax on the deposit; that you do NOT get back.
I heard that in MA, the solons and a BHO bud governor tried to put a sales tax on beer. There was already an excise tax on it.
Can't remember if it was a court, or more likely the people took to the stree...um, initiative petition process, to roll the tax-on-a-tax back.
When I lived in Calif-—I got paid back when I took the bottles for refund.
NEVADA, however charges 5Cents & doesn’t have facilities where you can return the bottles.
THAT is a SCAM.
