Discussion Question Week # 2 There are multiple law violations regarding the items that my Manager of the store is asking me to do. Let's start with emptying the changing booth and locking the door. This would be an action of false imprisonment, and according to Justia, “A person commits the offense of false imprisonment who knowingly removes or confines another unlawfully so as to interfere substantially with the other's liberty” (Justia, 2016, pg. 1.). The ultimate strategy is to avoid a charge of false imprisonment. The best choice would be for me to actually see the suspect select the merchandise and attempt to walk out of the store without paying with my own two eyes. Concealing merchandise is not a crime it is only considered shoplifting if a person attempts to leave the …show more content…
“Customers do have the right to refuse to have their bag searched, but since a customer enters a store under license, the retailer also has the right to ask a person to leave, therefore revoking the license” (law, 2016, pg. 1). Again we are setting up the company for a lawsuit, for an illegal search of a customer. A better course of action would be to wait until the suspect exits the store. I must physically see them conceal the merchandise, watch them the entire time to make sure they don't dump the merchandise, and wait for them to exit the store with the merchandise still concealed on them or on their personal belongings. Typically we must be careful when approaching customers inside the store. It's always best to approach a shoplifter with a fellow teammate at least one other of the same sex as the suspect. Often shoplifters can use the excuse that they're still shopping and intend to pay for the item once at the cashier. Confronting them outside the store we'll take excuses out of the
Can you explain why the store did not take pictures of the incident scene and the plaintiffs’ shopping cart? This question would cast doubt on if the store was trying
Based on reading from the week 1 material and the case brief given from week 1, there will be an explanation of how the Supreme Court’s language and results of the case reviewed show the preemptive power of congress in upholding the laws set forth by congress in opposition from the State Law. There will also be a review of the rulings effect on other states and peoples’ rights. The review of congresses decision about preempting state law in this case shows that the government has supreme rule over the land and in this case used it to protect the tobacco industry. Business law and law in
I hope all is well! I am Zenith Aviation’s new secretary and was informed that the business cards we ordered in the spring were incorrect. I am not sure if Robin ( Zenith Aviation’s last secretary)accidentally ordered incorrect cards or if miscommunication occurred during the ordering process. On the Metro Ink website under “My Proofs”, the image is labeled as

I’m writing because I purchased a box of Veet wax Strip Kit, 20 wax strips and 4 wipes. However, the box only contained 4 bikini and underarm strips (supposed to be 8) and 6 facial strips (supposed to be 12). I paid $5.32 for this at Wal-Mart store; I would like to have what I paid for 20 wax strips, 8 bikini and underarm strips and 12 facial strips.
Under the UCC, the statue of scam relates to an agreement for the sales of items more than $500. The discussions between BTT and Chou were really more than $500; therefore the statues of scam would apply here. Under UCC rules, usually under common law agreements, the statue of scam applies whenever a deal can't be achieved in one year’s period. Under these types of conditions, the statute would apply. But, there's one factor necessary to satisfy this condition, and that's the signature of the side in the agreement. Although some legal courts have determined that an email can pass by like a signed writing in case the name of the side is included at the conclusion of the email, it's not clear in this case if Chou ever replied to the email declaring he agreed with the conditions, and left his name on paper too.
Uliano advised me that the defendant entered the store and concealed several Walmart items in several Walmart plastic bags that she brought into the store with her. The bags were then placed into a Walmart shopping cart.
To whomever it may concern today, November 9, 2016, I received an email for a bill with UMUC. I have made a payment plan with them that was created on November 3, 2013 and the next payment would not be until December 15, 2016. I am concern that, forever what reason, UMUC is not recognizing this payment despite having to go through my account with them in-order to set-up this payment plan. Is there anyway to check to see if there is something going wrong with my

On October 14th, 2014, you agreed to and signed a Last Chance Agreement stating that you would not in anyway violate the following terms set forth by the company: 1.) Respectful Workplace Policy, 2.) Code of Conduct, 3) Performance Expectations. Since the signing of this agreement complaints continue to be brought to HR’s attention on your treatment of the employees who work under your supervision. On May 28th, 2015 and July 31, 2015, two separate significant accusations were made against you. While the investigations proved in-conclusive the company still has growing concern with your management style. The accusations continue to have one core theme and that is you continue to berate, belittle, yell, cuss, and alienate employees who
Dispatch conducted an internal check on the defendant and confirmed that he was trespassed by Officer Howard on 03-28-2017. On that day, the defendant was opening packages and he attempted to exit the store without paying for merchandise. Furthermore, the defendant had no money or credit card to pay for the items. Walmart declined to press criminal charges and only requested that a trespass warning be issued. Officer Howard's report states that the defendant acknowledged, signed, and received a copy of the trespass warning. Reference P.R.P.D. case #2017-0380.
My senior year has gone by so unbelievably quickly. It had been only four years ago when I first stood in front of the school a mere freshman. Throughout the years I gained a new experience that either made me a more global citizen or better prepared as an academic student. This year has been no exception and I feel ready enough for what’s ahead.
Probably no. A Texas court will likely find that an employee who watched a customer and detained him without actually witnessing any theft did not reasonably believe that theft was occurring under the Shopkeeper’s Rule because case law shows that, for a belief to be reasonable, the employee must actually witness theft or attempted theft, and that witnessing mere suspicious behavior does not constitute reasonable belief, although a customer triggering a security alarm may constitute reasonable belief.
The stores are tying to crack down on shoplifters by making the punishments as strict as possible. Shoplifting effects the community in a big way. The stores
Normally, we would work through tasks as they appeared on the list which allowed us to have different jobs every night, so this wasn’t routine for this employee. This is completely wrong in many different ways, because not only was the employee stealing the product, he was also not old enough to purchase or drink alcohol. Since, I was the person put in charge of the store that night I had to decide what to do in this particular situation. There are a few different ways to handle this situation. I could have called the police and let them handle it, but to my knowledge this was the employee’s first time stealing anything from the store. I don’t think the employee needed to be fined or charged for making a small mistake. I think that most people would have told upper management and let them handle the punishment, but this was a good employee and I didn’t want to look like that bad guy. I confronted the employee about the issue and explained that it is not right to stealing from the store. I explained that he was putting me in a tough position, but I wasn’t going to tell management unless it happens again. I don’t think that he ever tried to steal anything after that night. Being upfront with him and letting him know what the consequences would be got my message across. Theft is a big problem in retail locations; in my case there are only a few people that are working in a large store, so it
