You always have a risk from kids or outsiders who don't know about you, but it's certainly a lot safer being part of a community than an outsider - which is what you're seen as if you start literally putting up walls between yourself and your customers.

The outside gangs still have to face of the local gang in order to get to you. I agree that will probably not stop some random meth head from grabbing your tip jar and running, but the more organized criminals will at least think for 60 seconds before deciding if you are a valuable enough target to be worth getting into a turf war.
