$6. But you can probably expect some funny looks from the whippersnapper
running the cash register.

I took a bunch of scrap metal to the yard a few months
ago. 50 or 60<br>
pounds traded for $7.00, in the form of a check. Wait to
get spotted,<br>
wait to unload, wait for the ID check, wait for the
receipt, walk<br>
around to the cashier's window to get the check, use the
bank app to<br>
deposit it online... I don't think I'd go through all that
again for<br>
one beer. If my time is worth money, then I came out in
the red.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, there was a guy there who either has a bar or
is a<br>
prodigious drinker. He had a pickup truck full of bags of
aluminum<br>
beer cans. That was enough to pay for the time and the
gas.<br>
<br>

<br>
I turn beer into gas. So there's that...<br>
