Most Apple stores suck.

The fact that they call the employees "geniuses" is part of the problem. Not even kidding. There's an unparalleled and undeserved arrogance found at most locations.

The Apple Store closest to me is the absolute worst. About 2 years ago I bought a new iPhone there using my subsidized AT&T rate, but then wanted to swap it out with someone else on my family plan, where I would get their phone and they would get the new one. The Apple "geniuses" told me it would be $60 to do this, which is false. When I explained how it could be done without such a charge, they treated me like I was an ingrate and a moron. When I asked for a manager, she and another employee came over, and the three of them literally surrounded me and lectured me about how clueless I was, and how what I was asking to be done was non-standard and impossible without this $60 fee. Finally they called AT&T and discovered I was correct, and instead of apologizing, the manager barked, "Well we can't complete the process here. Go to the AT&T store to get a new SIM and then come back here if you want this done free."

When I explained that I was suggesting this process all along and everyone was shooting it down, the manager just grunted and walked away.

As far as I'm concerned, this French guy is a hero.

Careful Druff, between this and the Wells Fargo scandal you're turning into a left-anarchist like Chomsky.

:lmao

Some apple products are good but fuck their whole attitude and culture. It annoys me when companies try to position themselves like they're on some holy mission to improve/save the world when they're just a company selling a product like every other company. Apple, Ben & Jerry's and Nike come to mind. Some companies do conduct themselves in a manner that's better for their labor, environment, etc and good for them but those are the very basics and they ought to be required to do so in the first place.
