The customer Maria who is of Latin American ancestry, was attempting toreturn what she claimed was a defective belt sander. Maria claimed the sander caused aserious abrasion to her husband's arm, resulting in a trip to the emergency room. Tina wasrude to Maria in her response and not only refused to honor the return because she claimedit was beyond the 30 day 'no questions asked' return policy, but she suggested that Maria'shusband had not followed the product directions appropriately. Tina went on to askwhether Maria's husband could read English. Maria angrily responded that although sheand her husband are Latino, they are US citizens and fluent in English.When Jenna overheard the conversation she walked up to the returns counter and askedTina to assist another customer. She then offered to assist Maria. Jenna had a dilemma.Though she knew Maria had been wronged by Tina's conduct and offensive comment, shehad to agree with Tina that the sander probably was not defective and that the returnpolicy could not be honoured. Jenna was unsure how to handle the situation. In an idealscenario she hoped to restore Maria's goodwill while holding firm on the store's policy byrefusing the return.

Give typed explanation Kawal, a young mother with three small children, had worked at the counter of a Tim Hortons store for three years. One day, the manager observed Kawal giving a Timbit donut to a crying child who came into the store with their parents. When the manager of the store confronted Kawal about giving a donut away for free, Kawal immediately admitted to giving the donut away to the customer without paying for it. She was aware that this was against the employer’s policy, but she had been busy at the time and did not go to her purse to get the $1.50 to pay for the donut at that time. Also, knowing that day-old donuts are given away to small children in the store regularly, she felt this would be acceptable. Kawal expected to get a warning at most and was shocked when her manager terminated her employment for cause. Sarah filed a wrongful dismissal case. (PLEASE NOTE: I am not looking for your opinion. Use concepts discussed in class or your textbook to provide an…
Recently, an elderly woman was reported as "missing" from Home Away Nursing Home. After an extended effort to locate her, the woman was found deceased in the freezer of Home Away. Surveillance footage captured a food service worker at the nursing facility, Jim, exiting the freezer and carelessly propping the door to the freezer open with a wheelchair before walking away from the freezer. It appears that the elderly woman sat in the wheelchair, rolled into the freezer and the freezer closed behind her locking from the outside. In initial efforts to escape from the freezer, the elderly woman found a pulled lever attached to a gas valve detaching it and releasing gas into the nursing facility. As the gaseous fumes filled the nursing facility, other residents became ill and one patient, Thomas, became critically mentally impaired from ingesting of the fumes. What must Thomas’s family show to recover damages from Home Away Nursing Home on behalf of Thomas for his impairment?
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.)…

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? What type of…
Over a period of about twelve months, a female employee at a car dealership was subjected to four incidents of unwanted touching. On the first three occasions, a manager of the dealership sat down next to her during business meetings at the dealership, placed his hand on her knee, slid his hand under her skirt, and moved his hand up and down her thigh. On the fourth occasion, the manager did the same thing, but the setting was a restaurant where employees had gone for a reception following the funeral of one of the firm's owners. The employee complained to several managers and was told to keep a record of the incidents, but no other action was taken. The employee sued. What should the court decide? Why? You are required to use, and properly APA cite (in - text citation and reference), the class textbook in this discussion board.

Clark told Smith that he had a breeder pair available. Clark sold the pair to Smith for $16,500.

Clark said the revocation was too late. Was it?
