I usually shop at smallish family-run grocery. They're a bit more pricey than Safeway, but they have better quality produce and real butchers. They used to offer to take bags out to your car, but haven't since Covid hit.
I was shopping there once the day before Christmas (yeah, I know, but I wanted fresh fish for my Christmas Eve dinner). The store was packed. I usually decline the offer to take out my bags, but the packer insisted, and could not be stopped. I think if I asked he would have come home with me and unloaded - anything to get out of the zoo for a few minutes!
