"But Wrath, bringing your old jars to fill with milk or pickles from a barrel is unhygienic!"
"I sterilize my old jars by the dozen, we could've shop staff or machines sterilize the jars customers bring in. It'ld also cut down greatly on food waste to always buy just enough."

Privatize the profits, socialize the costs. Change indeed.
