Once you've gained rapport with the staff and regulars, they'll keep an eye on you. And if the sidlers notice that your being looked after, they'll walk off.

That's an awful lot of work to have to put in just to be able to shop in a store.
My goal when I go shopping is generally to be invisible. The ideal place is where everyone leaves me alone until I'm ready to buy. Chatting up the other people in the store would suck all the fun out of shopping, which would defeat the purpose of going into such a place.

Awesome. I know this technique too. In fact, I taught it to my speach class. I still have it typed up in Word. Learn it. Like you said, it doesn't take much effort. And besides, no matter how big they are, the body has a lot of soft spots. Like the eyes.

I know it. Actually using it in a high stress situation like this would take the presense of mind to remember how it works, and a level of physical confidence to actually apply it, neither of which I currently posess.
