At the stores where I shop, there doesn't seem to be a bad element. I often lean my bike up against the building without even locking it at all, at least at the stores in Millburn, NJ, where average wealth is very high. I go to one supermarket in Newark, a poor neighborhood, and I lock the bike there but not the trailer.
