[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 956152, member: 59143"] [rant]Come on guys, let's be realistic for a moment. Just because Steve Jobs wants Apple training and certification to be able to turn their employee's into mindless zombies whom don't question the letter of the [Apple] law, there are bound to be those who resist just a bit ! :Smirk: People are people no matter where you go, and sometimes "training" can't correct for bad judgment or poor personality traits. One of my best friends used to work in an Apple store in Georgia (Buck's County I believe) and used to tell me about the "types" of customers they would get who just seemed clueless and such, and how they were "handled" by some employees. What I got out of him saying these things to me was that some of the Geniuses or salesmen just didn't want to be bothered with people sometimes, because they would get too fed up. Whether or not this is a good practice, it doesn't matter because: A. Human beings can be robots only for so long before breaking down. B. Apple stores have so many new customers per day, that it really just won't matter if a few people are shoved aside every now and again. That's what happens when a great little mom and pop operation becomes too big for its britches. That's just life, and we either just deal with it by sucking it up, or we choose to spend our money elsewhere, and perhaps even express our dissatisfaction by writing a nice little note to a V.P. or C.O.O. somewhere. Were enough people to take an stand such as boycotting buying Apple products for reason 'x' and these reasons were expressed in a petition in which the number of people was so massive, you can bet it would at least start a chain reaction and change the course of certain events. But pUleeeze.. People these days are content with being led by the nose, being dumb and just taking whatever is dished out without any reaction. Don't think that's true ? Look how the government operates and what we do to change things. Right... Look at religion. Look at the technology we have and what it is actually able to accomplish, vs. what we are using it for.
