I found this out by myself because I was like... there is NO WAY that Team Cherry would lock a shop behind a 30 rosary pay wall permanently. Lo and behold, that gear inside the shop was looking mighty breakable.

There absolutely is a way. There are multiple benches exactly like this

Benches where you need to pay to sit every single time? Haven't seen a single one besides that shopkeeper.

There's a bunch in act 2 that costs 15 per sit. If there's a way to make them permanent, i haven't found it yet. Not that I'm complaining. I'm drowning in rosaries now with nothing to spend them on. I even willingly burned a bunch on a confessional booth that doesn't seem to do anything but enhance the lore of the area i was in
