We used to have those in the Netherlands before there was any attention paid to energy savings (~15 years ago). Freezers also used to be just open without any coverings. Budget supermarkets like Lidl and Aldi were the first to introduce both sliding glass doors on the freezers and doors on the standing fridges.

Interesting. Lidl and Aldi in Poland (at least the ones nearby) have doorless fridges.

Poland has cheaper electricity, so there is less incentive for savings.

Aldi is two different companies which have agreed to divide up which countries each serves. Germany and the US are the only countries where both operate.
