Pretty common in german supermarkets in my experience, at least those that only introduced self-checkout recently (so most of who even got one). The gates need to scan the barcode on your receipt.
Not really a noteworthy timeloss in my experience though.
It’s still a very uncommon thing in general, my local supermarket even got rid of automated coin counters on normal checkouts again because they worked so bad (refused even slightly dirty coins) and made things slower.

ahh ok. in the US there are some private membership stores that do that. the public ones can try to stop you but you do not need to obey.
