If you squat the 45lb bar, you'll be doing more squatting more than 95% of the guys in the gym.
If I were you, I would go one time when you know the place is virtually empty and just figure out the power rack or whatever the gym has. That way, you walk over there with confidence the next time.
The only reason for a guy to look at you funny is if you look like you're floundering. But, that's the same reason guys look at other guys funny.
