Driving away disruptive NPCs

In the final days of the game, disruptive NPCs appear in groups. You can drive them off with toilet paper, but a single nonlethal shot is more convenient.

CustomersMost customers die from one pistol headshot, while shots to other body parts take two. If a customer survives one shot, they flee the supermarket.
Refueling driversDrivers arriving to refuel die from one shot, regardless of where they are hit.

Invincibility spots

Standing high enough avoids damage. The following spots protect against some ground monsters.

Spot beside the EXIT sign that avoids damage from some ground monsters — EXIT sign spot

Spot beside the shelves that avoids damage from some ground monsters — Shelf spot 1

Supplementary shelf position that avoids damage from some ground monsters — Shelf spot 2

Spot near the bus stop that avoids damage from some ground monsters — Bus stop spot

Toilet door blocking

Customers using the toilet bring little noticeable revenue, and the toilet needs frequent cleaning. When there are only a few players, board up the door to avoid splitting your attention.
