This came from our local McCartneys supermarket, a company that was in Oklahoma when I was. It was a good supermarket, great service, and all items packed by store employees into your bags. Then you drove around to where all you had to do was open your trunk and they would put the bags into your trunk and slam the lid. Supermarkets had very good service in Oklahoma, but this was the only one that went as far as this.
