Serious question - why not?

• smackfu 15y ago
  1) Does it count Genius Bar or backroom service employees? Should it? 2) Does it count full or part time workers? If yes, are they counted the same? If not, why not? 3) A corner convenience store / gas station probably has higher numbers. Is that meaningful?

    Definitely good points. I doubt questions like those will get answered by Apple, though, unfortunately. Would be interesting, though.

    4) What about channel conflict (ie, Apple Web Store as a marketing channel for physical stores)... should those employees also be added in? 5) Not a single retail employee works on designing and developing a single Apple product (nor should they). Those costs directly impact the profitability of the store, so leaving them out is disingenuous.
