0159 – Convenience Store Awareness
In the past week or so we have been talking about the importance of awareness and I talked about the daily practice I do to help improve my awareness skills. Â Today I want to give a specific example of an exercise that I use to practice that can be adapted to many situations:
First of all, I hate convenience stores and gas stations, but there are times when they can be convenient.  Since I do choose to use the stores I make sure I have a routine to maintain my awareness when I do.  It is pretty simple!
- Counter
- Clerk
- Store
- Back-room
- Bathroom
- Exit
This idea can be applied to any situation not just a convenience store.
- Identify the threat areas
- Prioritize the likely hood of a threat in each area
- Evaluate the areas in order of priority
- Go or No Go
