if i'm at a store with angled parking, i park in the "no parking" triangles at the end of the row closest to the store and behind a pole if possible...like previously said, a lot of places will allow you to park on the end of their sidewalk as long as you aren't blocking handicapped access...if i do have to park in a spot in the lot, i make sure to park all the way out toward the lane of approaching cars instead of buried back between the vehicles on both sides of me, i feel other drivers have a better chance of seeing my bike that way
I just bring the bike into the stores with me...

Welcome!
I ride out of my garage and then back in.
Don't park it anywhere else.
I have the same fears as you.
