Why do people at the bottle return act like they've never seen a aluminum can before? (midwest.social)

In Michigan, we have a 10¢ deposit on cans and bottles. They're refunded by feeding empties into a machine that counts them up. But there are never enough machines, so a line forms. And right now I'm watching 7 dopes inspect each container individually before feeding it into the machine.

Because each store only takes cans from products sold there. So if you buy from 2 grocery stores you gotta do it twice. They might be checking it is one taken at Meijer or whole foods or whatever.
