We were in a large drugstore in Germany, when I noticed that all the shopping carts had a large magnifier lens attached to them, like this:

The magnifiers were fitted in a sturdy and elegant holder, designed to allow the carts to be stacked in a row as usual.
This was a new one for me… and it took me a moment to figure out the reason: these guys wanted their clients – even the elderly with their imperfect vision – to be able to read the fine print on the medicine packages.
I admit I was impressed that they care!
