Confessions of an Apple Store Employee
- fourspace 16y agoWow, working retail means you are pushed to sell inventory and deal with annoying customers? Shocking news. This is why I don't read CNN.
- beej71 16y ago"Laugh, laugh, gentlemen. It'll be the only story everyone reads."
- texel 16y agoI worked at Apple retail for five years, and of all the things this guy could've talked about these are the things he mentions? o_0
- kylec 16y agoFor those of us that haven't had the pleasure of working for there, what should he have mentioned?

- dustinupdyke 16y agoApple legal must have taken that down already.
- covercash 16y agoYeah, that's happened before. It just recently came back online but I guess that was short lived.
- texel 16y agoHonestly, nothing too crazy. What drove me nuts as a Mac Genius was the opaqueness of the engineering and support organization- we were on the front lines diagnosing and fixing customer issues, and we could do escalations, but it was still hard to get any answers from higher up that weren't already in the official docs. I'm sure there's other stuff I'm forgetting, but overall it wasn't a terrible place to work considering it's retail.
- j_baker 16y agoI've worked at Circuit City, CompUSA, and Wal Mart. None of these things are unique to Apple Stores.
- kevruger 16y agoTell all? Does this kid think they are just paying him to hang out? Retail is retail kid, you either drink the kool-aid or become a customer. It's called a J-O-B.
