The Apple Retail guy just said "Sir, please leave the store." If he had poked me in the chest like that, I would have simply broken his finger. I saw an incident at an Apple store where some dude came in furious about a stuck pixel in his laptop display, and the associate he was talking to pointed out the industry standard at the time, which was that up to six stuck pixels were considered normal.ĭude got more and more agitated, and started poking the Apple employee in the chest, and I'm incredibly impressed with the restraint that was shown. They deal with shitty people from time to time It’s a good gig for a short period of time or PT, but if you want to develop a career or has a family, unless you play politics and become a manager, Apple retail is no longer as enticing to work for. I worked every single weekend for a month+ once, and was told it’s retail, suck it up, you signed up for it. Work life balance is non existent, even though it’s something managers talk about, it’s never achievable with how busy the place is. Benefits are awesome for a retail job too. You don’t feel like you are working for the same Apple anymore.įor sure, pay is relatively good compared to other retailers. Why are you not attaching AppleCare? Those roles that people aimed for at the retail level became just another sales job, without commission. Now anyone who can smooth talk a customer on an iPhone contract can be a Genius/Expert/Pro. It felt like there was a spot where it wasn’t traditionally retail so it made working there worth it, no matter the working conditions.
