If I only need one or two things I just roll the whole bike, bags and all, into the store. Never any problem. If it looks crowded I lock up and take the bags in. Parking is right by the front door and under cover with big solid racks. Always several bikes locked there usually with weaker locks. I only double lock on the local junior college campus. The lights are not easily removed and inexpensive anyway. God bless D.I.Y. lights.
