Kurt,

I was in Florida at a chain-grocery-store and bought a carton of Soft
Drinks.

The total price was higher than I estimated it to be, so I asked the
cashier why and was told they collect a deposit on the paper carton,
because a lot of people were throwing the cartons away on the beach.

I told them we don't have to pay for that carton back home so put the
six bottles in a paper sack please.
