When I enter Costco I ask this person who checks you in to send someone to the dog food area and load the bags in my cart. On my way out I ask for assistance again, they keep my cart and tell me to bring my car to the loading zone. Then this guy comes, loads the bags into my van and that's all there is to it. Works for me.

And actually have only taken their offer of loading the van one time, although one of the "cart guys" saw me once and just "took over".
