When you are away from home and it starts to rain and you forgot your umbrella and rain coat, do you just take someone else's because you don't want to be inconvenienced ?
Stuff it, ILTB. Bringing a bicycle inside a store for a few minutes is not the same as stealing someone's property. I would hope you can understand that. I have done it exactly 3 times in the last 4 years at big-box type of stores, so kindly STFU and GTFO with the condescending tone of your posts.
Actually, I've rolled my road commuter bike inside the local small town hardware store on several occasions, mainly because there IS NO PLACE to lock up outside that store. And the employees are fine with it, and think it's kinda neat. They have struck up conversations about my bike and cycling on a number of occasions. Some of those times have been to look for a special fastener for the bike, and I actually needed the bike in there to make sure I got the right thing.
