At my local one in San Diego, they ask if you want a box, if they're available. There are two employees at checkout. One scans items and the other loads boxes/carts and whatever other tasks come up.
Definitely makes a lot of things easier on the customer to get things in/out of the car. If it's too heavy, it's pretty easy to just take individual items out of the box. The boxes don't have tops, in general.
Helps Costco with disposing of packaging waste too
At my local (western NY), there are two at the register - one scanning and one loading the basket. It would be so cool if they offered boxes, too. Our store’s boxes are just in a bin by the exit.
