For years the Michigan deposit has been both a cash grab for some who violate the law that live in Northern Indiana, and a bit of a PITA for honest people.
In all of the top tier of counties in Indiana many of the soda (I haven't really paid attention to beer) cans/bottles sold have MI (and other) deposit marks on them. There are some people south of the border that abuse this and take the empties back into MI and cash in after not paying the MI deposit. This is illegal.
There are some south of the border that will buy groceries/stop at a package store, etc., in MI, and pay the deposit on the cans/bottles and not bother/remember to return them. This is a-ok.
I'm pretty sure in MI that any store that sells you a product that requires a deposit must accept the return of the containers for the return of the deposit. I remember years ago that some stores required a receipt proving you bought the product there.
Michigan created this monster. Dropping the deposit would cure it. I'm not shedding any tears because they're getting a self-inflicted screwjob that costs them even more money for enforcement. One of MI's arguments has been that everybody should have a deposit, and nobody would be able to abuse the system. So far IN has resisited the deposit system.
