Ah, I see. I was picturing the typical standalone postbox that you deposit letters to be mailed in.

This has been a solved problem for decades. Animal resistant bins have been standard in parks for ages.

Just one of literally hundreds of examples: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/bear-proof-garbage-bins-made-in-lethbridge-1.4542351

the cafe will gladly take your garbage

Maybe they will, maybe they won’t. Either way, I’d have to wait in line or skip ahead+interrupt staff and the waiting customers instead of just putting the garbage that I was given into a provided bin out front.

I agree with the concept of ‘pack in, pack out’, if you brought it to a site, you take it back out with you. But If I go to a location and am given garbage while I’m there, I expect there to be somewhere I can dispose of it. I’m not packing more home than I brought with me.

I’m also not saying there should be bins all throughout the forest; just in this context where it’s effectively a food court, not providing a bin is ridiculous.

Or… You could just put a bin where the public can use it.

This is stupid.

Going from OPs description as the sign doesn’t show the area. There is a couple benches in the background, which leads me to believe it’s reasonably accurate.

Obv the situation is a little different if OPs not being honest.

That’s just a hassle for the postal service and people sending mail; they undoubtedly have nothing to do with this. (tampering with mail is also a felony…)

No, which is why it’s stupid to take bins away from stores/cafes.

Japan takes the garbage bins away from cafes?

Or 3) change the garbage regularly on a bin with a latching lid. (common in forested areas)

This isn’t just a random bit of forest either, it’s near a shop that’s providing the public with a bunch of disposable items like paper cups and napkins. Not providing somewhere to dispose of those is inevitability going to lead to people leaving their garbage behind.

It’s a cafe area; they are giving you trash with your meal/drink, not providing a bin for it, then expecting you to pack it out.

Expecting people to packout the garbage they brought with them is one thing (that still doesn’t get followed); but if you’re going to provide the public with trash, you’ve gotta give them somewhere to dispose of it.

See how much garbage you can stack on/wedge into the sign before they put bins back there.

It’s a way of farming sales and reputation, to build an account for later scamming with.

A brand new account running a scam gets picked up almost immediately as they’re watched closer. An account that’s been around for 5 years, selling products without reports of fraud, suddenly switching to scams stays under the radar longer.

Honestly; I’m impressed they both messaged you and gave you options.

Usually you wouldn’t find out until the mailman is demanding payment for the package he’s holding hostage in front of you.

Sometimes the local prices are insane too.

I needed a new infrared thermometer the other day; cheapest one I could find locally that wasn’t a kids medical forehead thermometer with a tiny temperature range: $56 before tax.

Amazon shipped one for $25 incl tax+shipping.

I’m broke af atm. That makes a huge difference. I feel dirty even opening the app/site; but that price difference is absurd.

‘C’ is a special char here. All codes must start with it, leaving the rest grouped in two groups: numbers, then letters. X Y Z is a pretty common placholder for ‘11’ ‘12’ and ‘13’, so really that’s in the order you’d expect. ‘C’ will also function as a clear button, to begin entering a new code attempt. Probably why they chose ‘C’ as a simple label.
