Can't speak for the Dahon, but when shopping the Brompton IS the shopping cart. No problem at supermarkets, best buys, REIs, etc.,
Assuming the Dahon folds small enough you could put it in the cart, I suppose.
When using the restroom, I bring it with me. Folds down small enough to fit.
If someone nabs a folded bike under a table while I'm sitting there without me noticing they should get a prize

What do you do with a folder while you're grocery shopping? Put it in your shopping cart? Carry it with one hand and push the cart with the other? If you have to use the restroom, do you take the bike in with you along with your backpack? Seems like a lot to juggle. And couldn't a folder get swiped just as readily from under a desk or restaurant table as from a bike rack outside?
I'm just trying see all angles before taking the plunge. I do like the folder concept. FYI, I'm looking at the
Dahon Speed Uno.
