Nobody did that shit until LIDL introduced the concept. After that, nobody still did it. LIDL are still the only ones who require the sacrifice.

Depends on the country, I guess. There are hardly any supermarkets here in Germany that don't require you to put in money. Mostly small independent ones with small carts. But every chain uses the deposit.

Aldi used to do that in the US. Maybe they still do. I never carry coins on me, so for this reason (and the always extremely long lines at checkout) I never shopped there.

There are plastic coins you can use instead.
