As seen in the video, criminals stealing hard drives from commercial establishments is becoming more common and holds the opportunity for criminals to steal hundreds of individuals’ credit and debit card information. This growing trend puts the consumer at risk for extra charges on their credit and debit cards as well as identify theft. What is even more surprising is that consumers are unaware of the true risks that are involved in using their card at terminals in stores. Moreover, even though businesses are to swipe the hard drives clean each day, many are failing to complete this proper procedure to prevent consumer’s stolen information. To add, where the consumer’s information was compromised is not made available to the consumer.…
These stores are always filled with students and teachers in the morning and when school is over. There is also a bus stop, which is the transport that I take in the morning. The bus is always crowded yet it’s a very popular way to get to school, since the closes train station is quite far. In the other side there is also a dollar store, which is popular within the neighborhood. The language that is mostly spoken in the neighborhood is Spanish. However the neighborhood is very diverse and many others speak Arabic, Mestizo, French, Wolof and…
Before entering the store, the first thing I observed was the modest appearance of the building. The building was not as fancy or modern as some of the building in American. It was covered in traditional Mexican colors and language written on the walls as well as locals seated on a bench outside the…

A review of relevant research reveals studies dating back to the early 1970s that focus on facility-based environmental cues, or atmospherics, and their effect on shopper attitude and decision modeling. However, inadequately explored is the specific effect that storefronts and retail exteriors have on shopper choice. Through the use of cross-sectional consumer surveys, this study will measure the importance of storefront appearance on retail patronage, as well as rank aspects of retail exteriors as they relate to shopper selection and loyalty. In addition to measuring the importance of storefront appearance, this article will determine how to prioritize physical aspects of retail facades that make the greatest impact on shopper approach behavior.…
The shoppers are trying to concentrate on the clothing, instead of the situation that is brewing right in front of them; this portrays the bystander effect. When the ladies stepped out of the store, the camera crew asked them why they didn't stand up for the girl. They replied, “I felt sorry for the girl, but I wouldn't have gotten involved because it was none of my business, and I didn't know her.” “Shopping While Black” is a term now used by researchers because this is so common and happens so frequently. Sixty percent of Americans say that they have experienced this kind of harassment from afar. As the shopping day continues, a hundred shoppers have seen this scenario, while only twenty shoppers stepped in to help.…
A grocery store is probably not the first place most people associate with entertaining stories, but in my family, there have been quite a few tales that revolve around our local Kroger. For instance, hearing my sister, Mary Jean, recount the loss of her beloved parking space when Kroger built their gas station has been the cause of much hilarity. Approximately two years ago, Mary Jean and I went to Kroger for just a few items, and found the place teeming with other shoppers. The holidays were approaching, so the lines were four or five shoppers long and more than a few of them had carts that were almost overflowing. The overhead lights were noticeably bright, compared to the overcast sky outside, and all…

For my report I chose the shop Pier 1 Imports, I have never heard about this shop before which shows that they have weak marketing strategy. So the reason of having gone to the Pier 1 Imports was actually a gift card presented to my parents. I would like to emphasize here that the gift card is a reason to make a purchase even if you don’t have intentions to buy anything. Another very interesting characteristic of the gift card, which not many people are aware of, is that the amount you are going to spend is much higher than the actual value of your gift card. We had $100 on our gift card but spent $200; because of the human nature we always tend to want more. And it is impossible not to buy something in Pier 1…
Illegal immigration has been, and I believe will continue being a controversy in the United States for years to come. Many people who complain about these illegal immigrants aren’t quite aware of the prolonged process of obtaining a permanent residency card. Whether you agree with the current naturalization process or not, viewing it from an immigrant’s perspective could change your outlook on it. American citizens should be educated on this topic before they begin to express their political views on immigrants, immigration laws and so forth. People looking into enduring the naturalization process will have various options to choose from. Each process will contain different rules and requirements that decide your eligibility. The majority of…
