The grocery store that I go to in the next town over does have kids take your shopping cart out and load your groceries in the car - which is also something that used to always be done when I was a kid.
Our town was so small that the A & P would send the boy over to our place with the groceries my parents had paid for and had other errands to do before heading home! That was back when we kept our doors unlocked of course.
