Picture Post: The Loop totes are finally starting to show up at Stadium Freddy’s. It is a bit sad to see them still all the way in the back of the store and tagged with TWO security tags. Yes, there’s a $5 deposit (which someone forgot to program in to the POS system and there were no signs indicating so), but everything about the way this partnership is being merchandised seems to be designed to have people not use it, which is a real shame when the point should be to promote fully recyclable packaging. Having the return box in the garage makes sense when the bottle return is also down there, but it’s not a visible spot and hard to get to if you don’t drive.
