Sadly those days are over with the bar codes and machines that scan them. It kicks out non-michigan cans. There are not too many mom n pop places that return them anymore. Usually you could return l$5-$10 at a time to them. Now there are machines at the big stores that scan and then crush the cans. Spits out a receipt with the payout and cashier can give cash or take it off grocery shopping bill.
