Hmmmm, the few times I've been in a Publix in Florida this never happened to me. Then again, maybe they could tell that I didn't WANT them to do this. If they "insisted," I'd probably refuse.
What, they make YOU walk out in the rain to get your car???!!! Jeez, I'd think that they'd bring your cart out to your car, load the groceries, then drive your car to the covered area so you don't get wet.
I've been in a few Wegmans as well and don't remember this either. Do you mean a separate bagger puts your groceries in the cart for you? Or does the cashier scan, bag, and load? If the latter, does she walk around the counter to load after each bag, or wait until the entire order is scanned and bagged?
And Wegmans expects people to actually
bring their carts back to the corral??!! AFTER a Helping Hand loads the car?? Wegmans shoppers seem to be the biggest offenders when it comes to NOT returning carts to the corral, at least at this one I've been to a few times. (Cherry Hill, NJ).
I like Wegmans and Publix on the rare occasions I go there, but I'd rather bag, load, carry, and unload my own groceries. I miss Pathmark's "bag your own" register.
