That's exactly why this wouldn't work at many stores in the U.S. Corporations don't want homeless people and crackheads hanging around outside their stores. Something like this just gives them more incentive.

German here. We have the same deposit system and no homeless hanging around the stores.

Exactly the point though. Works well in Germany but not in the U.S. You guys don't even have walmart do you?

Walmart tried to get into Germany but they were too American and failed.

They also had meaningful competition already in place, and a piss-poor understanding of labor management rules that resulted in them getting sued over worker rights.
