And the "mystery is"... they will take an entire
Ford F-150 FULL of empties without even
needing to go into the store. No $ exchanged.

They just TAKE them!!!

It was MY fault for talking too much. And
TRYING to be honest. And being sure I was
playing within the rules.

You get PUNISHED for that.

How does one "win" today? Serious question.

You can't and you don't.
Yep, and they charge you for a new one.

What I think it is:
They don't know on a return if the tank is any good or not, so they have to test it to be sure (they do that on exchanges too, but that's an exchange, the whole point of the business).
So it might just be sold for scrap, or it might end up being reused. They don't know. So they "just take it".
That's making $$$ in the end, on average.

They COULD just give some amount of cash. But then they'd get "tank scavengers" collecting 50 year old tanks and returning the crap for cash that would just necessitate a bunch of testing followed by scrapping. And up their potential liability risks. So they don't. They just "take them".

As far as the cashier's knowledge, well, every place has procedures that MUST be followed. If you or I were on the other end of the transaction, we'd want to make sure we "did it right".

And as usual, sucks to be you. See patch avi. :D

I want to be charged for a new one. I will
gladly pay for a new one. Here, take my money.

The mystery was the one empty not being
refilled.

I will not believe I was the first-ever. Nope.
I'm unique, but not THAT unique.

"Country Max" / "Tractor Supply" is a drop-off point
for empty propane tanks. If you leave them at the
curb, they will stay there until they decompose.
Around here, at least. None of the waste companies
will touch them. You can take a tractor-trailer
load of them there and they (should) smile and
unload them.

It's THEIR (Country Max / Tractor Supply) "job" to
take empties. Apparently, I was their first. Nope.
Not buying that. They have been there for DECADES!

JUST VENTING. It was all so very unexpected.

And just one more thing to add to The List of
Buttock Pains. See ^^^ up there someplace else.

Phone
Washer
Dead bird
Yellow jackets
etc etc etc
Just keep piling things up.

Rotating brushes are more effective per some studies.
There are slight risks to using them, though, because there have been recalls and incidents where brush-heads have broken and injured people due to mechanical/moving workings. Redesigns ensued, company divisions sold and bought, etc. But over all, they're more effective.
