Then you'd walk out to your car and drive up the outside side door (main door was a very wide (80'+) interior opening facing north into the mall). Hand your slips to a bag boy and they'd find your bin(s) and slide them on rollers to the sidewalk where the bag boy would pop your truck and load you up with groceries. Easy peasy.

The Loblaws at Elmvale Mall was like that until the late 90s. I don't know if that's still the case though.
