I was hoping to get a reply as to why somebody wouldn't be comfortable doing so! That's a very real possibility depending on your ability and experience with a given language.

But the beautiful part about going to store or what have you is that in normal conversation native speakers don't worry about following all of the grammatical conventions that are hammered into you when you learn the language. It's usually about flow and what's most comfortable, at least for Western languages.

Yeah, I have really bad anxiety. I have trouble going to stores down the street from me, I imagine it would be ten times worse in a foreign country.
