It seems the outrage is mostly about the seemingly excessive punishment. After all, he wasn't sneaky. It's up to Apple to enforce the policy for normally purchasing customers. His behavior was no different than someone who was ignorant of the policy. [edit, ok, a little, but presumably the ignorant could innocently visit different stores, too]
And then on top of that, they refuse to give further information that they obviously have. Lifetime limit? The policy says there is a limit on the number that customers can purchase, the number 2 clearly seems to mean "per customer" or "for now". Clearly the lifetime limit is not two. So what is it? Or is it just weasel words?
- cakesy 17y agoI don't see much excessive punishment, they did rough him up, take him out the back and break his fingers, or even march him out of the store. Also, like a lot of big companies, they tell there employees to not answer tricky questions, because they often get it wrong, or make up stuff. On top of that, the employees probably don't know much more.

Clerk: I'm not allowed to tell you. Customer: ??? Clerk: I've said too much already. ------ ISPs are notorious for having similarly obscure bandwidth caps.
