Question

Xavier and Fatima both work at a local convenience store, Mac. Their supervisor, Gerald, has just decided to make them take turns working alone in the store in the evenings. This decision makes both Xavier and Fatima very nervous. Someone could rob them or assault them. No one would know because it is late in the evenings.
