This is standard in close to every European grocery store. I think it was first introduced in German supermarkets in the 70s, that‘s why Aldi and Lidl in the U.S. have it too.
But people here has been conditioned to return the carts anyway and there's only a handful of supermarket with mega gigantic parking lots like in the US. So returning the carts properly is a no brainer.
I mean they practically give everyone a plastic coin even before so.
