Unfortunately the same isn't true of a big box store. I'm not sure that the trained monkeys they have assembling the bikes know how to work a QR properly.

Quick releases are safe when used right. At our club century, I've seen quite a few riders who did not know how to use them right. I've showed them how to do it.
