Is a busy store a positive thing for most potential customers? Even before social distancing if I would see a crowded store I would not want to go in.

- syspec 6y agoNobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded
- lotsofpulp 6y agoIt’s a positive thing for the very reason this thread exists. Microsoft stores are now shutting down. If I’m investing time into a product line, I am interested its continuance.
- chadcmulligan 6y agoPerhaps, I've always noticed other shops empty but the apple shop is always bustling, but not overly crowded (most of the time), just the impression of things happening. I often compared it to the poor Bose shop (now defunct) that was nearby, no one went in there because the salesman leapt upon you as soon as you entered, and you couldn't just fiddle with things without being bothered. Bose have great products but people don't linger there, and the same for the Microsoft shops in the article, but people linger in apple stores - it's by design. (I'm talking pre social distancing of course, but then, even now, people are lining up outside apple stores like no other, and the blue shirts are looking after every one, all with masks and sanitisers and checking your temperature, all theatre - its a safe space, everything's OK in an apple store!)
