Although the nature of the business makes it very convenient for customers, unfortunately this business style also makes it an attractive target for robbers and other criminals, putting customers and employees in possible danger. For this reason, shop workers are particlarly worried about working night shifts. More experienced employees realize that C-stores are the ideal practice ground for most thieves and burglars who start with shoplifting, and if not stopped, it can escalate to fatal attacks. It is understandable that most local law enforcement agencies regard C-stores as a nuisance and refuse to accept why these mini-markets have to be open 24 hours a day. Even though security cameras help to combat criminal cases by capturing intruders' identities and facial features, shop employees on duty simply cannot be too careful.
After all, the 24/7 business schedule will continue because the advantages of convenience shops outweighs occasional security concerns. The modern living styles may justify the existence of some corner stores being open 24 hours a day in the society. Neither customers nor shop workers nor, of course, deliquents would like to see it otherwise.
