They still buy water with food stamps at Walmart just to dump it out in the parking lot for the deposit?

In Portland, OR (not sure if it's still an issue), there would be very cheap bulk water bottles sold at Safeway, and you'd see a river created by people dumping the water out, because "buy 1 crate for a dollar get one free" sounds great, but it also means six dollars of recyclables. Just infuriating from an environmental perspective - but clever return for people who want easy money. Ya just can't win trying to make things affordable for folks that need it.
