Ozarka 5 gallon water bottles
HEB sells 5 gallon bottles of water. They charge a deposit for the 5 gallon bottle. I was told by an employee prior to purchasing the 5 gallon water bottles that the bottle deposits are refundable. A few months later, I brought the excess empty bottles in for a refund since I do not need as many as I had and I was told that HEB is only selling the 5 gallon bottles of water as a courtesy and if I want the bottle deposit refund that I had to contact the company that sells the water. I called Ozarka and they do not charge a bottle deposit and I would need to contact the store where I made the purchase for a refund. All of the HEB stores in my area refuse to give me the bottle deposit refund. None of the HEB stores have any signage stating the the deposits are not refundable. This is fraud. Who is pocketing the money if Ozarka does not charge a bottle deposit? I want my bottle deposit refund money back.
