In my area (Phoenix AZ) some grocery stores, like Safeway, bag the
groceries and put them in the cart. And on request they will also push
the cart to your car and unload the groceries for you. But what I like
best about Safeway is the free WiFi... ;) At the other end of the
spectrum are stores (Like Walmart) where if you wish you can
completely check yourself out: unload the cart, scan the price, reload
the cart and pay the machine with no human intervention...
