Aha, I didn't know that! We were newbies there, and assumed we had just made a newbie mistake. But we made sure to bring tote bags thereafter.
Really not that out of the ordinary; Back then plenty of supermarkets still had "cardboard corners".
People who bought stuff in bulk could dispose of the boxes there, while people who forgot to bring a bag could take some boxes from the corner to carry their groceries.
They can still be found in discounters in the more lower income areas but have become noticeably rarer.
