Short answer: Yes, they do.
I didn't even know that was a possibility until about 4 years ago, when I was kindly asked at the check-in counter to check my cabin luggage to the hold, due to the flight being full and the space obviously being limited. Since then I usually just ask them myself (if they don't beat me to it) and it has always worked out just fine, regardless of the airport.
