close store house

wont entertain visitor customer

security reason

What time do you close your house/store/shop?

I usually close my store and my house exactly 7:00 P.M. I won't entertain any visitor/customer at this hour because of security reason. I'm comfortable closing at this hour because people are still visible at this hour. Even if how urgent and what they are needing, I close the store/house and I made a notice outside the store. I did this because we don't know our security this time, there are lots of bad elements outside, so we must be extra careful of our lives always. How about you friends, what time are you going to close your house/store?

We usually close at 8:00 (house that is). I don't have a shop but if I have it then surely I'd close it at the same time.

We must be careful always because those bad people were always watching us, studying our movements and we can't identify them who they are, they will know us .

@ida123 True. with population rising. it is really hard to keep the shop or home open all the time.

@skysnap That is true so we better take extra careful of our lives, our daily activities.

The moment we had our dinner and have fed the dogs in front and in the back of our house , we close all windows and doors already . But inside , my in-laws are by the lobby of the dining room watching TV , while hubby would be on the computer , and me at the bedroom watching my choice of teleserye .

It is right to close all the windows and doors before going to bed for our safety.

I can imagine if you are a storeowner over there in the Philippines, you need to be careful.. But we close our window blinds when it starts to get dark ..

that is true because nowadays here in our country, we have plenty of notorious criminals that are watching our movements and we don't know them but they knew us

Even if you close your main door at 10 at least you close the gate at 7, the bad elements have already in mind that the owner has safety measures because you close the gate early,

We have to close our doors and gates properly so that bad people can't have the chance to get inside our house.

Wow, that is so early for us but for you, that is right because you are an early riser and you're right not to deal with anyone.

Before we go to sleep and that's probably from 8 to 9 in the evening. well, crooks can be very smart and will take an opportunity once they realize your house is not secure.

That is true, they are very clever in finding if your doors or your house is still open and that's the time they come inside and the worst is, we don't even know them and they know us.

Yes that is the usual closing time of stores in our city and I close earlier to their closing time so that I can relax earlier and take a shower after.

7pm is too early here but as you said for security reasons you have to do that. I do not have a store or shop so I do not mind closing a bit late. In my place somehow we are safe. Stay safe there.

We must be careful at this time because there are many bad people around and we can't pinpoint who they are, they just attack someone they like. Good that you closed early.

I guess 7:00 PM is a bit too early for me. At home, we have a small convenience store that opens til 10:00PM since most of the people in our subdivision are going to sleep at that hour...

I see but in our case, we have to close early so that we can rest and besides we made some notice outside our store, then the customers will buy earlier and that is for our safety.

7PM is just right to close your store. We close our door at 11PM, our house is far from the gate though, which is padlocked
