I use them for restaurants where I hope that I can find a seat near a window, but for grocery stores where I might be inside for half an hour or more I use the good bike lock. I carry both skier type locks and a good bike lock because I can use the skier type lock on a locker if I stay in a hostel. Skier lock takes less time to lock up and unlock later than the bigger bike lock.
