The purpose of my proposal is to request authorization in implementing a self-checkout system at T.J. Maxx in Fargo, ND to provide faster checkout times to the customers shopping the store. Summary In the middle of May the Fargo, ND went under a remodel. This remodel included completely changing the fitting room, breakroom, and backroom. The remodel also involved updating the shelfs in each department. Lastly, this remodel added an additional cash register to the front lines. The lack of employees has been a constant problem in the last two years I have worked for Mrs. Haussler at the Fargo location. There are times were the store is unable to fulfill the absolute minimum of workers needed during the business hours. If the store
leaves the additional eighth register the way it is now it could send off a bad look to the customers. The store normal has three to four empty registers when there were only seven. The speed of checkouts does not have a problem with the registers available. However, the speed of checkouts has to do with the lack of employees at the store. I am proposing a self-checkout replace the eighth register. Since the duty of a Customer Experience Coordinator is to watch the front lines, I feel like adding an additional duty to their roles could help implement the self-checkout. If Mrs. Haussler accepts this proposal the process of changing the eighth register into a self-checkout could be done during store business hours over two days. This would include hiring the technicians who deal with all register problems and updates. Once the technicians are done the self-checkouts could immediately be used by customers.
Despite a weak economy, sells have been steady and Chris and Pat have decided to open a second location 45 miles away in Monroe, WI. Their business plan for the new store will be similar to their current operation. The new store will have the same office and bakery hours just like the Janesville location. In addition, they plan to have the same amount of staffing in the new location, nine bakers, an accountant, an office manager, and a salesperson.
Fashion is important to women; whether it falls under the context of clothing, or how they decorate their home, fashion allows women to express their individuality. With today’s rise in fashion, businesses have to accommodate the demands of consumers by creating shopping strategies that keep the shoppers interested enough to keep coming back. T.J Maxx is one of the many businesses that serve their purpose in helping women achieve their fashion goals. By taking an open floor layout and incorporating it with a mixture between the newest fashion trends and home furniture, T.J Maxx builds an atmosphere that allows women to conveniently purchase quality merchandise for a fraction of the amount they would spend at other shopping stores.

My partner and I went to H Mart on February 17th, 2016 for our second journey. We got to the supermarket at 3:45PM and left at 5:00PM. During this time we observed our surroundings and asked questions. Some of the things we noticed was there were an abundant of seafood; fresh seafood, seafood flavorings, frozen seafood, canned seafood, in almost every section has so sort of seafood. We also observed that H Mart has Japanese, Korean, Chines, Mexican, Indian, and Western food. There was also many foods uncommon in stores in the US such as chicken feet and ox meat. Something else we observed was the space and layout. The layout of the store was spacious. Lots of smaller stores are located on the outskirts of the marketplace such as clothing, restraints, and a bakery. My theory is H Mart has created globalization through the layout of the store, what is sold, Asian cultures view on American food, and though the customers and employees.

Although Wells Fargo has maneuvered the recent crisis very responsibly and prudent, it is lumped together with other Wall Street firms and their failure during the crisis. Its’ reputation, as the reputation of any firm on Wall Street, has suffered. The trust in Wall Street firms is destroyed It is believed that the economic crisis was triggered by failures in leadership; we are in a so-called leadership crisis, meaning that the majority of the American public doesn’t have trust in their leaders anymore, and neither do employees trust their managers. This leadership crisis influences the productivity of banks, as can be seen at the falling stock value of Wells Fargo. Therefore, to guarantee enduring productivity, Wells Fargo has to adjust some managerial aspects because only a strong leadership provides a stable future and avoid another crisis.
Tyson Foods began in one of the most difficult times in American history in 1931. It was during the Great Depression that John W. Tyson moved his family to Springdale, Arkansas and found a new business in the form of chickens. John W. Tyson began distributing chickens to bigger markets throughout the Midwest. Following the Great Depression, the United States was plunged in WWII and food was rationed throughout America. Fortunately for Mr. Tyson chickens were not and he began to meet the growing demand for chickens and Tyson Foods was established (Tyson Foods, 2016). Tyson Foods is now one of the world’s largest processors and marketers of chicken, beef, and pork products. Tyson produces one out of every five pounds of poultry, beef and pork in the United States (Tyson Foods, 2015).
In reference to the argument above we intend to further justify why Hooters should not place a ban on admitting children after 9 P.M. Our three key arguments will help solidify the reasoning for this and it is important because it comes down to a decision that families should be making even though with this issue it deals with decisions that businesses could be making. Our first argument is that it is not up to the restaurant, but the family that goes to the restaurant as to whether or not they should bring their kids. Our second argument is that the restaurant has a mission to profit and not limit who gets served no matter the time. Lastly, our third argument is that we disagree with the ban because Hooters advertises themselves as a neighborhood restaurant to go watch sports and to have a good time, so all should be welcome. Through these perspectives we have not limited Hooters to have any reason to put any bans on who is allowed in and out of the restaurant.
The biggest problem thus far is the ineffective HR process used in hiring new employees. It starts with the companies poor advertising. Advertising of the job also is an issue because it has not been updated since 2010. The same ad had been used in 2012 to recruit a new batch of employees. This ad wasn’t very effective, to begin with, as it only attracted one quality candidate. The dealership needs to develop an updated
