Janet Jefferson operates a group of 10 Fresh Stop food trucks that serve lunch to busy workers in the business center of a large Midwest city. One of the most popular items on the menu is a quinoa salad made with organic vegetables. The ingredients of the salad, as well as other menu items, are prepped in a central kitchen each morning, under the supervision of the company's chef, MarieBeck, and loaded onto the trucks. The food truck operators assemble the salads as the orders are placed to ensure maximum freshness. Janet employs a purchasing agent, Bruce Atkins, who orders produce directly from local farmers. Bruce places produce orders at the beginning of each week, based on projected demand, and the farmers make deliveries every 2 days
The cost of the produce is usually the responsibility of the purchasing agent. However, in this scenario, Marie the chef has taken the responsibility for the cost of the replacement arugula from the purchasing agent by making a purchasing decision. Since Janet holds the purchasing agent responsible for produce costs, Marie the chef should have discussed the decision with the purchasing agent before trying to resolve the situation.
Do you agree that Janet should be angry with her employees? Why or why not?
A. No. Janet should not be angry with her employees' actions because they acted to satisfy the customers on a short term basis but she should be upset at the local farmers because they should have foreseen the arugula shortage and planned accordingly. The problem lasted several days, which, in the course of the business will seriously harm the profits of a food truck service.
B. No. Janet should not be angry with her employees' actions because they acted to satisfy the customers on a short term basis.However, had they run out of their most popular item for severaldays, this could have long term implications for customer satisfaction and customer loyalty, and in the long run could harm profits as customers find other food trucks or restaurants at which to eat lunch.
C. Yes. Janet should be angry with her employees' actions and the purchasing agent's actions. Neither of them contacted Janet to get her solution to this problem and they both cost Janet money. Only the owner should make this type of decision in the future.

This problem has been solved! see the answerwhich of the following statements is correct? the consumer price index is a measure of the overall level of prices, whereas the gdp deflator is not a measure of the overall level of prices. if, in the year 2011, the consumer price index has a value of 123.50, then the inflation rate for 2011 must be 23.50 percent. compared to the gdp deflator, the consumer price index is the more common gauge of inflation. the consumer price index and the gdp deflator reflect the goods and services bought by consumers equally well.
