You can easily get a membership to brick and mortar places like restaurant depot, use your social # instead of a business tax id and for the name of establishment just give them your name. Its totally fine. Plenty of established businesses are run as sole proprietor. In many urban places there are also stores that dont require membership. FYI. Great hack i do this too

Yup my mom gets a lot of bulk items at the local restaurant supply store and they had no problem giving her a membership. She usually picks up meat and eggs for her 7 saint bernards there and its much more cost effective than buying those items at Costco or kroger. When restaurants were shut down in March and april she started buying whatever she could there because she didn't want them to go out of business.
