CONFESSIONS OF AN APPLE STORE EMPLOYEE: We Lie To Customers All The Time
An anonymous Apple store employee pulled back the curtain behind the company's impressive retail operation. He talked to Popular Mechanics about what it's like to be an Apple footsoldier on a day to day basis.
Here's what we learned:
Employees lie to customers. They tell consumers that unlocking their iPhone will brick them -- make the phone as usless as a brick -- and that T-Mobile will fry the antenna.
----
Though I would have to file this under 'duh'.
Advertising is lying and advertising is selling. It's been pretty much long noted that bottom line takes precedence over honesty and good work.
