I often try if I'm in a hurry, and always ask first.
I find Tesco generally refuse. I once got told this was due to Health & Safety, my on-road-only bike being dirtier than the soles of customers' shoes, obviously :/
I have been known to speak or write to store managers about their poor policy/bike locking facilities, if it's a store I use often. "Do you realise how much business you lose...blahdy blah."
Usually though, if I'm told 'no', and there's no safe parking, I pull a face and go elsewhere. They almost always can't explain their reasoning.
Since they removed all the bike stands on Regent Street I don't even bother going to shops there.
