Pacific Southern Airlines (PSA) had an unhappy customer. Cynthia Mercier-Walters flew from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Phoenix, Arizona. The flight stopped briefly at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, where she got off the plane for half an hour. When she returned to her seat, her $400 prescription reading glasses were gone. She asked the flight attendant where the glasses were, and the attendant said they probably were thrown away since the cleaning crew had come in with big bags and tossed everything in them. Ms. Mercier-Walters tried to locate the glasses through the airline’s lost-and-found service, but she failed.
Then she wrote a strong letter to the airline demanding reimbursement for the loss. She felt that it was obvious that she was returning to her seat. The airline, however, knows that an overwhelming number of passengers arriving at hubs switch planes for their connecting flights. The airline does not know who is returning. What’s more, flight attendants…
Denny’s and Customer Service Early on the morning of April 1, 1993, 21 members of the U.S. Secret Service arrived in Annapolis, Maryland, to prepare for President Bill Clinton’s speech at the U.S. Naval Academy later that day. Before setting up security at the academy, the contingent, in full uniform, went to a local Denny’s restaurant for breakfast. The group included six African American agents who sat at a table together, and an African American supervisor who, with the white agents, sat at other tables. After all the agents had ordered, the six black agents realized that the white agents and their supervisor had been served while they had not. Agent Robin Thompson went to ask the waitress about the order, and she said it was on its way. He then asked to talk with the manager and was told that the manager was on the phone. (White agents seated at other tables later reported that the waitress rolled her eyes after turning to leave the black agents’ table.)…
4.) A grocery store checkout clerk picked up the item from the checkout counter and moved it across the bar code scanner. Immediately, the scanner audibly responded that it had successfully identified and recorded the item. Since this was the only item the customer had brought into the checkout lane, the clerk punched one of the buttons on the cash register to print out the sales slip. While the register printed, the checkout clerk placed the item into an open plastic bag in front of him, picked up and closed the bag, and handed it to the customer. Write a list of the therbligs that comprise this motion sequence and label each basic motion with a brief description.

- The Karl’s store strongly condemn their employees to eat, drink or smoke within their stores premises. Jessica was therefore surprised to walk into her laundry store and finding two of the employee shaving lunch at the front counter. There was a large pizza in its box, and the two of them were eating slices of pizza, drinking colas and throwing paper plates. Not only did it look messy, but there were soda spills on the counter and the stores melted from onions and tomatoes. In addition to being a turnoff to customers, the mess on the counter meant that a customer’s order might actually become soiled in the store. Although this was a serious matter, Jessica didn’t feel that what the counter people were doing was grounds for dismissal partly because the store manager had apparently ignored their actions. It seemed to her that the matter called for more than just a warning but less than dismissal. If you were at Jessica’s place what action would you have taken and why?

The staff at Baring Futures Singapore pried open a drawer always kept locked by Nicholas Leeson in February. “There was a stack of paper, “recalls visiting official Tony Railton, senior clerk for futures and options settlements at Barings group headquarters in London. “There were holes in some.” London manager Brenda Granger says she saw what looked like a “fraudulent document.” And Barings settlement director Tony Gamby remembers finding “some cut-and-paste material” and a “letter with a scissor-cut around the signature.” These were some of the clues that the three Barings employees provided Bank of England investigators. The results of that probe were finally released last month. The report mainly blames Leeson, 28, for Feb 27 collapse of 233-year-old Barings, Britain’s oldest merchant bank. Because of limited access to Barings documents in Singapore, the investigators say, they could not shed light on the most disturbing questions.

- As a result of a machine error in a Nestle manufacturing facility, one batch of its apple juice was found to contain only 5% apple juice, with the remainder being water, flavorings and fructose, the same sugar found in apple juice. The juice was not otherwise contaminated and was not generally harmful to consume. Nestle promptly recalled the juice when it realized the error and refunded all amounts paid. Six children became ill as a result of allergies to the flavorings. The flavorings are not normally added to this juice, and were not included on the label, but are a common food additive that has been approved by the FDA. Nestle is liable under product liability to the claims brought by the 6 children who became ill for which reason? a. The product label did not adequately warn of potential dangers. b. The product was unreasonably dangerous in the form it was marketed by Nestle. c.

Dottie is silent as Dr. Rice leaves the examination room and Bruce proceeds to set the walker correctly. However, when Dottie sees that Bruce must once again put Dottie in a gait belt for her protection—the belt was used earlier in the examination to assess Dottie’s ability to ambulate—the patient gets feisty. She is visibly tired and ready to go home. “I’ll learn to use the walker if I have to, but I won’t wear that belt. It makes me feel like a baby. And it’s such a bother. Who wants to go through all that? We just don’t need it.” Answer the following questions, which are also found in the Reflection Activity for Chapter 32 of the textbook: What is the best action of the medical assistant? What is the best therapeutic response of the medical assistant? Could the situation have been avoided? If so, how? If not, why not?arrow_forward
- The Norwegian Sun had just pulled out of port in Miami in mid-March for a 15-day cruise through the Panama Canal when passengers started noticing problems on board. Notices began going up closing off parts of the massive cruise ship. The sound of grinders and hammers grew louder, and the air was filled with dust from decks being sanded down and resurfaced. "We found that a l t more areas were being cordoned off," complained Charlotte town resident Harley Richardson, who was travelling with three other couples from Prince Edward Island. "And we saw more and more workers wearing respiratory protection equipment working around the ship." Richardson, who has taken several cruise vacations, said what he witnessed went well beyond normal maintenance. He said the work being done was not only irritating - it was downright dangerous to the paying passengers on board, "It did very much concern me that the residue from the grinding and the sanding which was blowing and collecting everywhere was…arrow_forwardA doctor has decided to buy lunch for his office staff.

He received an e-mail from Joseph Grimes, a frustrated restaurant owner who is demanding a steep price match for all his trouble with two new 4K Ultra HD televisions that both malfunctioned (see Activity 6.12). He had bought a Samsung QLED Q90R 65" 4K UHD TV (QN65Q90RAFXZA) at Commander Electronics for $2,597.99 plus tax. After installing it, he found, much to his chagrin, that the TV set failed the very next day. Wanting a new TV as soon as possible, he drove 30 minutes to the same Commander Electronics store to exchange the faulty model for another Samsung QLED Q90R 65" 4K UHD TV. A few days later, this TV also conked out. Again Joseph had to return the TV set, but this time he insisted on exchanging it for a different brand, a comparable LG 65" 4K UHD HDR Smart OLED TV (OLED65C8PUA) or a larger Sony 75" 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (XBR75X940E) that also fit Joseph’s criteria. However, at almost $3,000 both…arrow_forward
- "Warranties.Harold Moore bought a barrel-racing horse named Clear Boggy for $100,000 for his daugh-ter. The seller was Betty Roper, who appraises barrel-racing horses. (Barrel racing is a rodeo event in which a horse and rider attempt to complete a cloverleaf pattern around preset barrels in the fastest time.) Clear Boggy was promoted for sale as a competitive barrel-racing horse. On inquiry, Roper repre-sented that Clear Boggy did not have any performance issues or medical problems, and that the only medications the horse had been given were hock injections, a common treatment.Shortly after the purchase, Clear Boggy began exhibiting significant performance problems, including nervousness, unwillingness to practice, and stalling during runs. Roper then disclosed that the horse had been given shoulder injec-tions prior to the sale and had previously stalled in competi-tion. Moore took the horse to a veterinarian and discovered that it suffered from arthritis, impinged vertebrae,…arrow_forwardFrancis B. Freeman, Jr., purchased a cattle scale for $11,000. The scale, which weighs approximately six thousand five hundred pounds, was sold as a portable model. The manufacturer sold additional items that permitted the scale to be moved. Freeman did not buy that equipment. Freeman placed the scale in a barn on a concrete pad poured for the scale, then poured concrete ramps that would allow cattle to enter and exit the scale. Freeman further welded an iron fence into place to help funnel the cattle through the scale area. Although the scale was designed to be portable, 70 percent of the scales sold were installed the same way Freeman installed it. The scale has remained in place since its installation. The scale could be moved by cutting away a welded metal fence and lifting the scale with heavy machinery. The removal of the fence would take approximately one hour with use of a cutting torch, after which the scale could be moved within fifteen minutes.
