I have worked at a Sunoco Gas station on 3rd Shift sense late February 2016. I usually work alone from 11PM-7AM. I work 3rd shift mainly because it's a bit less hectic. I get most of my duties done within an hour and the rest is just making breakfast sandwiches & helping others at the counter. Though, I don't always feel safe there. My sunoco is in a "not so safe" area where muggings and shootings happen often, though my store is right outside of that city. But that doesn't make me any less stressed about the possibility of getting mugged, robbed or even shot. I have never dealt with that before and the original third shift worker "who had been working there for 2 years before he moved back to WA state) said he never had to deal with that sort of thing. The most I ever had to deal with was just an angry old man waiting on a taxi. My store is right beside a 24 hour Dunkin Doughnuts & a 24 hour Ihop and right in front of a Hampton Inn hotel which is right in front of a Retirement home (I believe) There's also a Primati Brothers to the right which closes around 11. Cops sometimes sit in front of the store sense I'm right on the highway and a lot of kids speed there. There is also a high school to the left.

So what do you think? Should I be worried or not?
