Security
In April 2008, a settlement was reached in the wrongful death suit of a clerk who was kidnapped while working the overnight shift in a Hobbs, New Mexico Allsup's store. As a result of the settlement, efforts to protect convenience-store clerks working night shifts have escalated. The New Mexico Environmental Health Board ordered that all stores open between 11 pm and 7 am must station a security guard with any clerks working that shift alone, place clerks in an enclosure behind bulletproof glass, or there must be no fewer than two clerks on duty.
