Simple solutions are simple: if you go to the machine and there's a big bloke standing there loading his tins into the machine, you can also ask him to take a thirty second break by stopping putting items in, request the receipt for credit, let you return your smaller number of items, and then he can continue where he left off. Doesn't matter how many receipts you have, they're all redeemable at the point of sale.
That's exactly why I was so happy to read about Ireland actually getting this done.
It's appalling to see how awful some people can be about dumping their shit anywhere they feel like it.
Ireland's a filthy country: only three or four days ago, the same guys who took the power hoses to the concrete on Mount Street after the migrants were booted out were sent to do the same to the pavements on O'Connell Street where they hosed down the entire street in a few hours. That's the first time I've ever seen or heard about power-washing public streets in Dublin, or Ireland in general.
The last snow melted very quickly. The city sent the guys in to clear all the remaining grit off the pavements and re-store it into the boxes. Then they took out the power washers and now you can't find any grit anywhere: they sprayed the pavements (you can even see the left/right of the swishing of clean water) and the roads, the gutters, the lot. It's now spotless where it was previously a mess of mushy slush pebbled with grit.
Washing the streets in the city centre is a nightly affair: they come around 0500, along with delivery trucks for the outlets. No trucks after 0800 in the city. Finns are used to waking up to clean streets, no trash, and no chewing gum stuck to the ground. That was the thing about O'Connell Street. Every time I came home to Dublin, I'd go from the airport into town to see how things are looking. The streets are full of gobs of green phlegm, the stink of piss everywhere, chewing gum and other shit on the pavements, disgusting crap everywhere - and Irish people STILL wear their shoes inside the home.
I mean, how stupid can you be?
You're stepping into and out of filth and grime, then you walk it into your carpets and mats inside your house?
The fuck?
No shoes beyond the hallway - walking in with your boots on will see you booted back out again.
Never ever wear outdoor shoes inside your home.
