How often have you tried charging while there?
What software do they let you load?
When I check out a device in the store I definitely pick it up, hold it, turn it over, and generally look at every part of it. Things like a charging port on the bottom would probably stick out...
Or like in this case, with the power button on the bottom, I'd definitely notice that as annoying.
Basically anything you want, they don't tend to watch you at the apple store, unless you seem like you actually want to buy something. They want you to mess around with the machines, so I've never seen them password protected in any way, you have admin access.
This is 100% untrue.
Policy may have changed...
It has been this way since the first Apple Store opened…
I’m confused about why you felt the need to make it up. Such a weird lie.
Is not a lie, that's just what I remember. I remember messing around with computers, doing whatever I wanted with them, but that was back in high school when we'd just hang out at the mall; I haven't been to an apple store in a long time.
What's really weird is to make such a big thing about this. Why get all passive aggressive? I mean look, even when you're sure someone is wrong about something, that doesn't mean they're maliciously lying, it just means they're wrong... You can tell them that.
Maybe you’re just in a bad mood because I really didn’t make a big thing about it. Just thought it was odd that you’d lie about it. You’d have to have either lied (or misremembered if your panties are still bunched up) because this has been company policy since the first Apple Store opened in like 2001.
I’ve been going to Apple stores since they opened. In fact, in a brand new Apple Store back in like 2007, I wanted to demo the software “Shake” for my company. I distinctly remember an employee installing it for me (since they wouldn’t be stupid enough to leave admin access open).
Ok, now I see what's going on. You're a bot or a troll.
This is a thread over two weeks old, nobody is reading this thread... You just posted this response less than an hour ago and it already has a lot of upvotes, more than all the posts nested above it (which have been there for two weeks).
Nobody is reading this, so there's basically only one way to get any response that strong that quickly (negative or positive). A network of accounts supporting some posts and suppressing others.
😂 Someone doesn’t understand what followers are. Have a great day. Blocking you now.
