Safety advice that I have for people shopping in busy stores over the holidays is to STAY AWARE of your surroundings. Always shop in pairs. Traveling alone these days is just not safe. It is important to look in and around your car before you get into it. If you feel threatened or scared to go somewhere alone, ask a security guard to assist you. It is better to be safe than sorry.
