It's not about the retail part and specifically the stores, but the company as a whole. It is designed to balance investments and customer satisfaction to sell products. That means it's fine to lose money in one place (or not maximise revenue and profit) because you make up for it in other parts of the company. Bottom line still needs to be cash coming in. It's a different business model than say a candy supplier that just needs to move quantity one way or the other. It's a longer term system where the instant sales aren't the main driver.
- scarface74 6y agoThat’s true. But irrelevant. In what way does an Apple employee helping a friend move data when Apple does it for free hinder Apple from making money? Does the guys story even pass the sniff test a little?
- oneplane 6y agoThe guys story is incomplete and without a decent set of information there is nothing useful to be speculated about.
- scarface74 6y agoSo, it doesn’t pass the sniff test.... It’s the responsibility of the blogger to communicate clearly. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
