why alarmed? do you live in Meth-town?
I'd love more 24/7 options around, even if it's just a 7/11
To be fair, in the US the places able to support 24 hour stores do tend to be places with higher quantities of drug use and homelessness.
What the 24/7 store is really depends on the area, it's not causal but revealing.
Many small towns have a 24hr gas station that doubles as a convenience store/minor grocery and they're often quite nice, clean, and quiet.
I'd like more 24/7 options too but it can be a problem. For example, there's a 24/7 7/11 in downtown Austin, TX that has had many crime issues and is in a generally nice area.
