its actually NOT common in the US. I remember being surprised by it when I first saw it in Europe in the early 1990s.
I’m sure it exists somewhere in the US, but I’ve lived in 8 different states and have never seen it on this side of the pond.
Weis Markets here in PA was testing it in a few stores last year. The jury is still out if they will implement it in all their stores. BJ’s Warehouse club stores (similar to COSTCO) used to have this; in fact, it was the first store where I ever saw this and that was in the late 80’s. Lidl had this until recently.
