Review

Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Transportation, a recent statistics show that Shanghai's hypermarket shuttle lines in just three years doubled, has reached more than 840, accounting for almost half of the number of bus routes in Shanghai. Undeniably, the opening of free shuttle buses to the supermarket has brought a great source of customers, but usually negligent maintenance, which hides the hidden safety hazards are worrying. According to statistics, most of the stores are leasing cars, only a small number of self-provided. So in case of customer accidents during the ride who will be responsible for it?

Providing free shuttles does not mean that supermarkets are exempt from responsibility for safety. Fu Dingsheng, a professor at the East China University of Political Science and Law, believes that "customers should still demand responsibility from the supermarket side in case of such incidents." First is the relationship between the supermarket and the customer, the customer always thought that the shuttle bus is provided by the supermarket, the supermarket to provide free shuttle bus is also one of the items of service, as the operator should make a commitment to the safety of the customer's ride, this obligation to protect the safety of the implied. Secondly, the relationship between the supermarket and the leasing company, the occurrence of passenger injuries after the supermarket compensation can be in accordance with the lease agreement to the leasing company to recover. Passengers of the contractual counterparty for the supermarket, so customers can be held liable to the supermarket side.

Ding Yisheng, professor of law at the East China University of Political Science and Law, believes that the formation of a service contract between the supermarket and the customer should ensure the safety of the customer, and the free shuttle bus is responsible for the obligations attached to this contract. Customers can pursue responsibility to the supermarket, but also to the supermarket and car rental company together.

After shopping, Mr. Zhao found that no matter how to enter the password that box is not open. In desperation, he called the staff. With the assistance of the staff, the box was opened. However, the contents of the box have disappeared. In the process of discussing compensation, the two sides have always been on the compensation amount of this issue is difficult to reach agreement.

Review

Fu Dingsheng, a professor at the East China University of Political Science and Law, believes that "as long as the quality of the storage box itself is not a problem supermarkets and clear warnings, supermarkets on the self-service storage box hosting the lost things are not responsible for". Customers themselves chose the self-service locker instead of the manual service desk hosting. According to the "Consumer Rights and Interests Protection Law," Article 18 provides: "The operator shall ensure that the goods or services provided by the operator in line with the requirements for the protection of personal and property safety. For goods and services that may jeopardize the safety of persons and property, they shall provide consumers with truthful explanations and clear warnings, as well as descriptions and labels on the proper use of the goods or acceptance of the service and ways to prevent the occurrence of hazards." If the manufacturer of the automatic storage box manufacturers in the box cabinet has been expressly prohibited to put cash and valuables, the supermarket also through the "free automatic storage cabinet precautions" to explain this, then the behavior can be recognized as having been correctly warned to consumers.

Typical case of reckless security guards mistakenly hit the customer the court ordered the supermarket compensation

Originally into the supermarket shopping, but unexpectedly the security guards as a thief punched and kicked. The customer Mr. Ma has been wronged for no reason, to the supermarket to negotiate always but can not get a satisfactory answer. So, he was furious that the supermarket sued the court. A few days ago, Putuo District Court ruled that the supermarket compensation for Mr. Ma's losses of more than 3,000 yuan.

According to the plaintiff, Mr. Ma said, February 11, 2006 afternoon, he came to the city of a large supermarket shopping. When he walked to the door of a fast-food restaurant in the supermarket, he saw a security guard grabbing a middle-aged man and questioning him. He did not care at the time, but just as he was about to walk past the entangled two men, the security guard suddenly grabbed him as well. At that moment, the security guards next to him gradually gathered around and held him with his hands behind his back. When he questioned the security guard about why he was being arrested, the guard said that Mr. Ma and the middle-aged man were in cahoots and were both thieves who stole alcohol from the supermarket. He immediately indicated that he had just entered the supermarket and could not be a thief, but the security guards did not listen to the explanation and dragged him to the security office on the second floor by grabbing him and beating him several times in the office, causing multiple injuries to his head and lower abdomen.

Afterward, supermarket staff realized that Mr. Ma was not a thief at all, but a customer who had just entered the supermarket by watching the surveillance video. But instead of apologizing to him, the supermarket unjustifiably accused him of misleading the security guards with his antics and denied beating him.

The defendant supermarket discernment, between the plaintiff and the defendant because of misunderstanding in the process of arrest produced physical collision caused the plaintiff's injuries, the defendant's security guards did not beat the plaintiff, the defendant does not exist intentionally, but agreed to vouchers compensation for the medical expenses, transportation costs, on nutritional costs also agreed to pay.

Putuo District Court in the trial, in order to verify the injuries, according to the plaintiff's application, the court also commissioned an appraisal of Mr. Ma's injuries to do the appraisal of Mr. Ma's head and face, confirmed the fact that Mr. Ma head and face were beaten.

Putuo District Court after hearing that: the plaintiff to the defendant supermarket shopping, the defendant's security guard was mistaken for a thief and was arrested, during which the plaintiff was injured in the facts clear, the evidence is conclusive, according to the police station of the relevant transcript material, the plaintiff was injured due to the defendant's security guards beatings caused by the defendant, although the defendant emphasized that the plaintiff's injuries are its misunderstanding, is the arrest process, but after the consequences of the damage, it should be Fault behavior to take positive and effective remedies to properly resolve the dispute. Therefore, the defendant shall bear the corresponding civil liability for its security guards to implement the fault behavior. Finally, the court ruled that the defendant compensation for the plaintiff's costs *** totaling more than 3400 yuan.

The contractor judge told the author: in recent years, the supermarket theft cases occur repeatedly, but the supermarket rights protection measures must be legal and reasonable, like this case, such as indiscriminate customers beat up, not only can't have any effect on the theft, but instead of bringing pain to the innocent. Not only to the supermarket to take responsibility, but also to the supermarket's reputation will bring great damage.

Reminder items sent to the artificial service desk to save evidence to avoid disputes

Reporter investigations found that the general storage box on the requirements of the customer can not be stored valued more than 200 yuan of valuables on the word. At the same time, as long as the quality of the storage cabinet itself is not defective, with the function of intact use, loss is the customer's own responsibility. So experts remind customers to send bags before reading the notice, and be careful, to do their own property is responsible for, if there are valuables try to carry or send in the artificial service desk.

Experts also reminded consumers: In order to avoid the occurrence of such things, or to start from their own personal safety and property security is responsible for the carry-on items should also pay attention to the custody, so as to avoid crowded in the crowd of people were stolen or squeezed. If consumers want to go to the judicial channel to defend their rights, then we must pay attention to the preservation of evidence, such as supermarket shopping list, cash registers, and so on. East China University of Political Science and Law, Sociology Department Director Prof. Li Jianyong believes that the reason why the supermarket such security risks occur frequently and his own high traffic characteristics have a lot to do, in the limited space, people in close contact, it is easy to violate the personal rights of the incident. For this kind of incident, should strengthen the legal propaganda, so that citizens know their rights and the duties of supermarket staff, so that citizens can be clear when things happen to their rights, better protect themselves. At the same time, supermarkets should also strengthen supervision and management, equipment should be improved, such as increasing the number of cameras.
