Just FWIW, when I was in France, they asked me on purchase whether I would be returning the bottle I bought.
Given I was 15, it was a bottle of pop, but it made a difference to the price. Baffled me completely (thought my French was at fault) but the daughter of the shopkeeper was called in to explain in English. Still baffled.

We got something like 5p if we brought bottles back to the off licence window at the local pub. Two bottles equalled a big bag of sweeties! But not money off at the point of sale. Still not sure how that works, might have misunderstood, but she was a very pretty lady.
