You might get away with it, but here’s the part that really sucks: you’d be stuck in the shed until they opened the next day. No riding a bike down the aisles, not even any trips to the bathroom. The alarm system likely has motion sensors, and the cops are called automatically when the alarm goes off.
I used to work at Costco in loss prevention (for real) - yes you'd be found instantly. However, rather than calling the cops, the store would autonomously release the intruder bot 3000, which would deal with the problem and clean it up prior to store open. It's really cool what AI can do nowadays.
EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!
ED209 you scary, jittery motherfucker
Chopping Mall?
They probably have employees stocking at night. So no security system unless you try to open the wrong door, but you'll still probably get caught.
Good point. That may be the case as well. Either way, no bathroom breaks!
Hear me out. Pajamas that look like Costco stocker uniforms. Slip em on before bed. Gotta go, just walk quick, it'll buy you enough cover.
There's enough birds in a hardware store that I very much doubt they have motion detectors.
Sure they can. Just aim/calibrate/whatever so they only detect stuff at floor level, or beyond a certain size.
..birds? Just flying around the store crapping everywhere until they start pining for the fjords? 🤨
Yeah. Like, birds love hardware stores. You can't keep them out since they can fly in through the customer doors or through the loading docks they use for the big stuff.
Birds getting into things like hardware stores, large grocery stores, or shopping malls is a thing.
It's particularly difficult with a grocery store since they tend to have piles of vegetables and fruit sitting on easy to see tables. I once saw a sparrow sitting on the birdseed shelf looking absolutely smug.

You could just do like here in Denmark: not have ridiculously tall customer doors and keep the loading docks closed when they're not actively in use 🤷
I've lived here for all of my 41 years and I've never seen a bird in a grocery store and only twice total in hardware stores 😆
That's so weird to me, I see them all the time. They just walk through the door when they get opened and it's not like the doors are too big.
They just really want to be in there, and so you see lucky little sparrows pretty often.
When you have mega high ceilings and big doors that stay open, birds indoors are a thing.
