I don&#39;t know if the intent was to recycle or obtain the cash that &quot;so easily&quot; is obtained by rounding up these empty bottles!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I must say it is actually kind of fun and therapeutic ( I need a life!) to one-by-one put the bottles in the automatic chute! Then after you are done, one push of a button instantly provides you with a tally of your efforts and a dollar total that you can instantly claim at Ralphs!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The computer at work again ... Today&#39;s Way!! Technology has made it easy to help our planet by recycling and to receive some extra cash! I just love it!

Starbuck&#39;s sends you all sorts of freebies. Most recently it was  $5.00 to use any way you wanted at any Starbucks.  Yes ...
