Well of course you are entitled to circumvent the rules meant for the health and well being of others and not wait in long lines like the rest of us because..

Drat! I can't think of why,  can someone else?

They replaced the battery while I waited and the manager even found a $20 Firestone discount on batteries. The bill was $142. When I worked batteries and tires at Sears Automotive 30 years ago, that battery was about $80. While I waited, I looked around for somewhere to sit down but all the chairs and divans had been stored against the wall upside down. The seating was in quarantine or self-isolated or whatever the term of art is this week.

I entered the store illegally from the downstairs parking via elevator because I was supposed to wait outside and get at the back of a very long line outside. After being thrown out of the store, I finessed this by re-entering the store from the downstairs parking again via elevator and skulking past the view of the store minders.
