Case Study : Sam Vs. Quinn, And A National Chain Store

The shopkeeper’s privilege does not protect Walmart from liability under the circumstances of the case. Although Navarro had the right to exercise shopkeeper’s privilege, Navarro had not enough evidence to consider Cockrell as a suspect and it is not reasonable that Navarro asked Cockrell to take off the bandage. According to the merchant protection statutes, merchants can stop, detain, and investigate suspected shoplifters without being held liable for false imprisonment if (1) there are reasonable grounds for the suspicion, (2) suspects are detained for only reasonable time, and (3) investigations are conducted in a reasonable manner (Cheeseman, 2015, P.87). Navarro was not fulfilled for the third condition because the investigation is unreasonable on putting the suspect in a risk of death. Since there was a risk of bacterial infection and it may cause death after the wound area exposed under the air, Navarro should

Facts: Defendant (Kmart) allegedly failed to provide to plaintiff (Lopez) the written wage statements. The availability of the wage statements is required under California labor code. Under the agreement, employment-related issues between the employee and company shall be resolved informally or by binding arbitration. This replaces the right of either party to go to court or have a jury decide the outcome of the claims. Lopez alleges that the agreement was never valid due to the fact that he was a minor when he acknowledged the agreement and is now entitled to revoke his consent.

Supermarkets are one of the many components that contribute to the expansion of the U.S. economy. There are several chains of supermarkets in almost every state, but they cannot be all considered the same. For instance, Publix, Aldi, and Walmart are three of the most popular supermarkets in the U.S., and each one of them has something that its respective consumers value the most, which makes it unique and favorable for the competitors. Therefore, choosing value propositions that will differentiate them from the competitors are a major factor to consider in marketing. This is crucial for the growth of any business because the development of all enterprises lies solely on the effectiveness of its

Is Wal-mart the ideal store to shop it? Austrian economic and business professional Karen De Coster and banker Brad Edmonds believe that Wal-mart improves the lives of people in rural areas because it gives them access to a lifestyle that they would not have if Wal-mart did not exist.

Case Review: Davis Supermarkets, Inc. v. National Labor Relations Board 2 F.3d 1162 (DC. Cir. 1993)

In regards to the issue between Mr. Stevens and the chain store, various elements must be present to prove that a valid contract exists. The four elements to a contract are: agreement between the parties, consideration, contractual capacity, and finally, legal object (Kubasek, Browne, Giampetro-Meyer, Barkacs, Herron, Williamson, & Dhooge, 2011).

The McDonald V. Chicago case was argued March 2, 2010 and was decided on June 28, 2010. This case was a very large step toward citizens being able to “keep and bear arms”. The case decided if the second amendment applies to individual states. Most believed that the states could not overpower the second amendment with their own rulings. Otis McDonald, a 76 year old Chicago resident, felt that he was no longer safe in his own neighborhood. Gangs and drug dealers were taking over and he felt that the shotguns he owned for hunting purposes were not adequate protection. His home had been broken into five times and the most recent robbery was committed by a man he recognized from his neighborhood. Mr. McDonald decided that a handgun would be a better means of self protection but was unable to purchase one due to the Chicago city wide handgun ban of 1982.

In the Case McDonald v. City of Chicago resident Mr. Otis McDonald is a 76 year old retired engineer who has lived in his neighborhood for about 40 years. Over time his peaceful community has been overtaken by gangs and drug dealers. His home and property have been littered on a regular basis and his garage has been broken to about 5 times. Mr. McDonald legally owns a shotgun but believed it would be “unwieldy in event of a robbery.” So he wanted to purchase a simple handgun. But living in Chicago in at this time he was unable to purchase one, due to Chicago’s requirement that all firearms to be registered to the city, McDonald was unable to register the purchased handgun when Chicago started to refuse all handgun registration requests since the citywide handgun ban was passed in 1982. McDonald and three other Chicago residents joined up and made a lawsuit which became McDonald v. City of Chicago, a court case to allow him and Chicago residents to own a handgun. The constitutional issue at hand is the violation of the second amendment rights to bear arms (firearms). Using the Fourteenth Amendment, McDonald will be able to make his case protecting his right from infringement by local governments.

Currently I am employed with a company that some may say is the 'melting pot' of diversity. Working for Corporate Safeway, now Albertsons-Safeway, I can appreciate how judgement free the environment is in our work place. They are open to hiring minorities, LGBT, (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender), disabled veterans and that's just to name a few. Hiring a staff that is of many different cultures, nationalities and belief backgrounds is a great way to show the awareness of diversity. I am a true believer that a great business starts at the top. If management can provide their employees with the skills and knowledge of working in a diverse setting this will lead to a steady and smooth work environment. Knowing how to properly and correctly carry yourself is the first step in working with the different variety of customers or co-workers you may encounter.
