The Pfand fee shows right at checkout, which is exactly how it should work with these glass bottle sodas. The deposit system is a small price to pay for knowing the container gets reused, and it's clearly stated in the product details.

The deposit fee was added automatically to my total, which saved me from scrambling for change at the register. I appreciate that the system is upfront about it, and the bottles are sturdy enough to make returning them worthwhile.

The deposit is clearly listed at checkout, so there's no surprise at the register — and the bottle itself feels solid enough to reuse for water later. Nice that the system's transparent about the fee.
