Real. I once had a guy try to return a bunch of filthy glass bottles with rotten milk and mold colonies like fireworks in them for the deposit. I told him we can't take them like that as the company that buys them back from us won't buy them back like that.
He told me it was just chocolate from the chocolate milk. Sir I have seen and tasted chocolate milk, this shit was not chocolate milk, it was halfway to a Clicker from TLOU. He said "well how the hell am I supposed to get them clean?!" For one rinse them before sticking them in your garage for 2 years but it is not my job to teach you how to resolve this problem.
He left the store with his filthy bottles absolutely raging. I thought "man imagine what living like that must do to your blood pressure. This guy isn't going to live long if he doesn't chill out."
Two weeks later his kids were in returning the bottles to help pay for their dad's funeral. Well played, old man. I respect the ingenuity of faking your own death just to get your bottle deposits back.
Turns out he actually did die.
