Sari-Sari Store Owner Expresses Frustration About Customers Who Failed to Return Soft Drink Bottles

A sari-sari store owner has expressed her disappointment to customers who failed to return softdrink bottles “Wala na bibili if mag deposit Ako”.

Sari-sari stores play an important role in many communities, serving as convenient hubs for daily necessities. Among the items commonly found on their shelves are soft drinks, often enjoyed by locals looking for a refreshing beverage.

While the exchange of soft drink bottles has been a long-standing practice, the implementation of deposits on these bottles holds great importance for both the store owners. It cuts down on the expenses of constantly restocking new bottles.

Recently, Jing Kie, a sari-sari store owner, expressed her frustration on Facebook after some customers failed to return the empty bottles of soft drinks they purchased. The post garnered various reactions from the online community.

In a post, Jing Kie shared a photo of crates filled with soft drink bottles, almost two crates, were lacking bottles. She mentioned that she doesn’t require a deposit because, according to her, nobody buys if she asks for one.

“2 KAHA na ng soft drinks ko Ang Walang bote, Di Kasi Ako nagpapadeposit, Kasi Wala na bibili if mag deposit Ako,” she wrote.

Feeling disheartened about the situation, Jing Kie shared her disappointment online, and many netizens empathized with her. Later on, the customers reportedly paid her after she posted their names online.

“BINAYARAN NA PO…nahiya siguro pinaskil Ang pangalan ng mga Di bumalik ng bote,” she added.

The post shows the challenges faced by small business owners, like the sari-sari store owner, in managing their inventory and ensuring the return of reusable items like soft drink bottles. It also emphasized the power of social media in addressing such issues and establishing accountability within the community.
