The Worst Apple Store In America — An Employee Confession

Cutting_Crew writes "Gizmodo has a piece that describes one of the worst and most corrupt Apple stores. Two employees recount management exchanging brand new computers for face-lifts (and other things), not just from customers, but also from businesses. Other common activities ranged from destroying devices repeatedly and ringing up new ones (for themselves and friends as fake customers) to outright stealing merchandise and cash. Customers may have also lost their data if they weren't polite when coming in for a repair, or the 'Genius' help may have been intoxicated."

what?!?

OK, I can believe the management is a bit corrupt, but are you seriously trying to tell me a bunch of hipsters barely making minimum wage goofed off and stole from their employer??

this is an outrage!

That's not the worst of it. One of them tried to sell me a computer with two year old specs at twice the price of a new one anywhere else.

Stores... Really? No... Really?!

Is this how bad the hype on freakin' Apple is getting? The fanboys and girls just can't get enough so that now they're all hyped on reading reviews on the fucking stores? Stores? It isn't enough we have to endure sanctimonious drivel about how cool their iWhoGivesAFuck is, now we have to endure commentary on their stupid fucking stores. Get a grip people. What's next? Are they going to start writing essays on the possible ways Wozniak washes his balls?

Since the government controls the law they can pretty much conclude that the official story is the truth and say that anyone who claims that the official story is false is a liar.

Hmm. Instead I'd say that there's a 50/50 chance of either telling lies. Ergo, imprison them both for half the standard sentence length.

I divide babies for breakfast.

Popular enough to prompt criminals to circulate these pictures in a PDF that has been infected with some malware.

To be fair, one can hardly construct a PDF that doesn't infect computers with malware.
Adobe's razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by vulnerability.

Unless you run a whistleblower organization that pisses off the world's governments.
