... or approached a human in a logo'd uniform and say, "Hello person. Can you help me, please?"
You know, like our parents and grandparents would have done at a store. With humans who shouldn't be beckoned by glaring while standing near a display.
Not at all. The only reason I ever go into an Apple Store is that I know I won’t get pressured to buy something. But I do replace my iPhone and my MacBook every few years, and on some level, the Apple Store being a relaxing environment to browse Apple products probably contributes to that. Apple isn’t trying to sell you a new laptop right here right now. They’re smarter than that.
Oh, I have no problem with salespeople being hands off, that would be my preference too. But once you've made a decision to buy something, they should be available.
I mean they are? It’s just that you might have to go and talk to one of the employees rather than waiting passively for them to come to you. I find it weird that people have an issue with that.
I did try, kinda hard when they're standing around chatting to each other. Also the idea of interrupting their conversation is something I'm too British to truly consider.
