RE: How do you grocery shop with toddler?

Yes, I get scolded on a weekly basis at the grocery store because my daugher climbs out of the seat and then runs everywhere. I can chase her while I am shopping, but once I am in line, forget it. Strangers regularly lead her back to me in line, but it always seems to end with her crying, me sweating, and the entire store glaring at us.
I may be somewhat to blame because I like grocery shopping and am none to speedy about it, although I do come with a list, categorized according to the aisles at the grocery store. I give my daughter snacks, but they only entertain halfway through the shopping expedition. What can I say? We just keep muddling through, but thanks to all who offered their tricks!
