Why do you say depressing? It's a deposit to encourage people to return them.

Well exactly. The fact that otherwise people would be stealing watering cans from cemeteries is depressing.

Its probably not about stealing, but people would just leave them all over the place. This system encourages people to put them back in the central spot.

How many redditors does it take to figure out the reason for a deposit on watering cans in a cemetery?

Its so people can water the flowers they planted for their loved ones. It’s actually very sweet

Of course, that’s why it should be free . It’s sad that some “entrepreneur” saw a business opportunity in other people’s grief .

It's more of a deposit as the connection looks like the same you find on shopping trolleys.

Touché! In that case it’s borrowing more than renting and it’s a sweet idea .

100%, it is a shame we live in a world where the deposit is required but it's fair enough and as you say, it is a sweet idea.
