He gave me some tips about compressing the Xtra dropouts to fit the rear wheel, I wasn't too comfy with it even though he said that he's never had any issues after doing so on 6 Electras. Aaron,

The trailer was actually sitting out next to the xtracycle and blocking the walk way originally. So we just scooted it over to where you see it in the pictures. The trailer could have been easily scooted over if a biker wanted to lock up his bike there. No the trailer was not locked up to the rack.

Joel, we did park it the way we did. Reason being, its very RARE for anyone to ride their bikes to that store.Besides we were only in there no more than 20 mins. GR,

Like my fellow 3-speed rider, I have a store pretty close (about a mile with a 150ft climb going home) and since it's just me the groceries usually fit without trouble into the folding baskets on my commuter. However, I really hope that the 3rd and 4th pics, with the Xtra blocking the entire bike rack, wasn't the way you parked the bikes. Glad you made the run.

That's not fair for RL, otherwise ;) Priscilla, you should look into some sort of load-hauling deal for your cruiser (floral Basil panniers or something) to share some of the weight.
