You can always bring your groceries to you vehicle and bag them there.
The Costco I used to shop didn't do any bagging, you had to bring them
to your vehicle in the cart... they'd ring them up and place them in
an empty cart. In summer I rebag because in hot weather I bring an
ice chest for perishables.
