I’ve never seen this anywhere, ever?

And honestly, if there was two euros going for simply moving a trolley back to its parking zone, I suspect you would have shoppers who found it worth doing that for all of the free carts, let alone people with less money coming in to collect.

Sometimes there are homeless people loitering in the parking lots offering to take your empty cart to pocket the coin in them.

Indeed. The only few cases are for trolleys left kilometers away.
