French’s Fast Fries (3F) requires that its employees wear uniforms and protective
clothing while on the job. 3F provides a locker room for the employees to leave their
street clothes and personal items while working. A sign on the back of the locker room
door states, “French’s is not responsible for the loss of any property in the locker room.”
Grant, a 3F employee, changes his clothes in the locker room before starting work and
leaves his wallet and watch in a pocket of his jacket hanging in his locker. When he
returns after his shift, the wallet and watch are gone. Does Grant’s leaving personal
items in the locker room constitute a bailment? If so, what type of bailment? If not,
what legal relationship is it? Does 3F’s sign exculpate the company for Grant’s loss?
