MAN BITTEN BY CROCODILE HE MISTOOK AS ANIMAL STATUE NOW OUT OF DANGER CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY—A 68-year-old man bitten by a crocodile he mistook as an animal statue in a resort in this city is now out of danger. Mercy Joy Chipada, daughter of victim Nehemias Chipada, said her father was recuperating at the Northern Mindanao Medical Center after surgery on his left arm. On Nov. 10, Chipada, along with family members, went to Amaya View, a mountain resort in Barangay Indahag that overlooks the city’s urban district, to celebrate his birthday. Photos posted on social media showed Chipada and family members posing and taking pictures with concrete replicas of animals in Noah’s Ark, one of the amenities in the resort. A video also showed Chipada climbing down a few feet to get near the unmoving reptile and tapping its head, thinking it was just a statue. He waded in the shallow pond where the crocodile, moments after the head-tapping, locked its jaws on the old man’s left arm. Seconds after,…

BJ'S SUPERMARKET CUSTOMER CONFRONTATION: Recently, Jenna, Supervisor in the Customer Services department, witnessed a squabble between a customer and one of the customer service representatives Tina who is Caucasian American. The customer Maria who is of Latin American ancestry, was attempting to return what she claimed was a defective belt sander. Maria claimed the sander caused a serious abrasion to her husband's arm, resulting in a trip to the emergency room. Tina was rude to Maria in her response and not only refused to honor the return because she claimed it was beyond the 30 day 'no questions asked' return policy, but she suggested that Maria's husband had not followed the product directions appropriately. Tina went on to ask whether Maria's husband could read English. Maria angrily responded that although she and 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 asked Tina to assist…
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…
