This is common in the Philippines for commonly needed things like shampoo etc. Downside is increased packaging litter

    Could turn it to a no waste store. You can bring your own container and pay for what you fill

    I could also see a store where you've got a running balance and get charged full price for a bottle of fish oil, bag of salt, whatever, but if you bring it back you get credited back most of what you spent based on the remaining weight.

    At least until the one asshole comes along and cuts the cooking wine with vinegar or something to save a few cents.
