I’m glad he called out the shopping experience in stores. I thought roaming checkout would be convenient, but it’s maddening having to comb through the store just to find an available sales associate to buy a small thing.
Apple used to have dedicated checkout plus roaming checkout. Now they only have roaming checkout.
- sotojuan 8y agoGruber criticizes Apple all the time. The past few episodes of his podcast have been mostly complaints.
- Tomte 8y ago> I was expecting Gruber to give out A+ on all fronts based on the things he posts about Apple That's a common sentiment on Hacker News. In fact, Gruber is regularly criticizing Apple, often quite harshly. Just not on HN's pet peeves.
- ghaff 8y agoIt's a general problem with retail, hotel check-in, etc. situations where the system is built around providing an in-person experience for the shopper/guest. The problem is that, in practice, at busy times you would mostly prefer a streamlined automated way to do your business and move on.
