Whether you want them to or not, Jewel-Osco has implemented a new policy of following shoppers, and their carts, out to their vehicles. What do Patch readers think?
If you haven't shopped at your local Jewel-Osco grocery store in a while, be prepared for a new customer service initiative that you may, or may not, appreciate. It's called the "cart-to-car" service, according to couponsinthenews.com, and whether you want the help or not, your bagger is expected to follow you and your cart out to your vehicle.

"We understand that this is a very different service and it might take our customers some time to understand that we want this to be the norm," said a Jewel customer service representative in the article. It was announced in January that Jewel-Osco stores …

Supervalu announced Thursday it was selling Jewel-Osco and four other grocery store chains.
Supervalu announced Thursday it will sell Jewel-Osco and four other grocery chains for $3.3 billion to AB Acquisition, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Naperville resident Ilda Rodriguez and her family are almost ready to open the doors of Taco Diner at Boughton and Weber roads, next door to the Jewel-Osco. Many Bolingbrook residents likely know the location best as the former home of Bacci Pizzeria. But once they walk through the Taco Diner's doors, all similarities to that restaurant will vanish. "We have completely redone everything," Rodriguez said. "We redid the kitchen, plumbing, floor — everything from the ground up is brand new."
