Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A supermarket employs security guards to monitor the premises for suspicious activity. One evening, a security guard fails to intervene during a robbery, and a customer is injured in the ensuing chaos. The injured customer sues the supermarket for negligence. Does the supermarket owe a duty of care to the customer regarding the security guard's failure to act?

  • Yes, because the supermarket has a duty to protect its customers from foreseeable harm resulting from the conduct of its employees.

  • Yes, if the customer was aware of the security guard's limitations.

  • No, because the security guard was acting independently and the crime was committed by a third party.

  • No, because the customer assumed the risk by entering the supermarket.
