Yeah you would have to pick em up each night. I don't think any bar/restaurant will hold on to bottles. They throw em out every night. The restaurant that I talked to sells 1200ish beers on friday, saturday, and sunday, according to them, and that means they have a few hundred bottles every night and nobody is gonna just leave that sitting around taking up space. I think I'm supposed to pick em up each night if I wanted them.
And I've thought more about the bottle deposit, Michigan is the only one that refunds 10 cents for a beer bottle. That makes 1200 bottle $120 a week and if I hoarded a year's worth that would be roughly $6000. But like I said, a year's worth of bottle would be roughly 60000 bottles and I'm not sure how much weight and space they would take up. Not only that but Michigan is like 1200 miles away from me. That or I can wait and see if the Texas deposit law passes.
oh well just brainstorming here.
