Fast oil change shops, at least where I'm from, allow the driver to remain in their car if they want to. Personally I think that's about a dumb and risky policy, but that's how many fast oil change shops roll around here.
It's said that about 95% of car alarms are accidental triggers. Try working at an oil change shop, it'll happen at least 3 times a week. And down in the pit, the echo is so loud that the alarm might as well be inside your skull. And we absolutely cannot wear earplugs, the mechanics have to have clear communication at all times.
To make matters worse, some vehicles have aftermarket alarms and security systems where some bonehead thought it would be cute to make the doors automatically lock when you simply close the doors, even if the keys are in the ignition and the engine is running.
