Not necesarily. Some yachties are not above helping themselves. A rather nice old offertory plate was stolen from Canna Church a few years ago and rubber dinghies were fair game.It all depends....
Don't leave a bike anywhere in Edinburgh without a good lock and several armed guards.
Leave it forever and a day on the Isle of Muck and you should be ok..
To avoid the plague ridden mobs I shop between 0700 and 0800. Very frustrating sometimes I cannot buy booze.Must be different in England, in Scotland we can’t buy alcohol in shops except between the hours of 10:00 and 22:00hrs.
It's a bit of a ridiculous thing to try and do, unless there is some very specific reason

At least she is competent at what she is doing even if you disagree with her politics. Unlike the clowns you have in charge who could not run a tap even if they knew what a tap was for.It's a manifestation of the entitled cyclist syndrome, and it doesn't do anything to enhance the perception of cyclists amongst the general population. There could be a car park full of £70k Mercs and Range Rovers, whose owners accept that they have to stay outside, but you'll still get the one occasional muppet on an expensive road bike, who doesn't want to carry the weight of a lock with them, and who think they are a special case. Carry a lock, plan your shopping better, or just ride a cheap hack bike to the shops.
Maybe that's because us Englanders didn't vote for Kim Jong Sturgeon to run our government.... We get our booze cheaper than the Scots too, for the same reason.
I've been taking my bikes into shops since 1974, were there no thieves where you live then.entitled cyclist syndrome
I don't think there was ever one in Llandudno.
Quite. And nor can you pick one up and throw it in the back of a van, or even just wheel one away following 5 seconds' application of a bolt cropper.Well you can hardly take a 3 tonne Range Rover up the aisles in Tesco

I spent a few summers working in Ohio during my twenties. They have drive-thru liquor stores. Drive in, give your order, pay and get given your goods. It was brilliantWe went to a DIY place in chicago where you could drive down the 'aisles'
I imagine trying to take a bike, even a Brompton, into most shops would bring out the inner Stasi in any security officer.
I tend to agree but then I wonder why? As pointed out up-thread, nobody bats an eyelid at a pram, buggy or shopping trolley which arguably take up the same footprint and are often piloted with little care. What harm is actually being done by a bicycle in a shop, other than being a bit unusual? Perhaps with pro-cycling measures underway there will come a time that there will be too many bicycles at a shop to allow it, but then presumably the measures that put more people on bikes will include appropriate security at your destination that make the perceived need to keep your bike with you redundant.I imagine trying to take a bike, even a Brompton, into most shops would bring out the inner Stasi in any security officer.
