Answer 1

Answer:

d. Has no duty to protect customers from criminal conduct by third parties.

Explanation:

A retail store has no duty to protect customers from criminal conduct by third parties. A retail store is responsible for facilitating its customers by offering them value in their products and services, treating them fairly and giving them respect, providing them with excellent shopping experience and involving them in co-creation process. Retail store has no liability if customers has faced any kind of criminal conduct or activity by a third party, it doesn't come under the umbrella of their responsibility and jurisdiction. Customer has to take care when they are dealing with the third party because that particular retail store has nothing to do with it if something bad or any unforeseen circumstances occur.
