I used to think it took conviction to be a dedicated Apple Retail employee...

Instead of trying to tip an Apple Store employee, do them a huge solid and fill out that survey you received instead. Write some nice shit about them. It helps. A lot.

@DepotGenius Apple doesn’t seem interested in “Transformational” anymore. “Transactional” is where it ended up after hiring Managers from BB, SB, and any wireless carrier. You could see this after they created the TS and TE positions.

As I was going through the headcount of who all got fired in the Genius Bar at my store, I don’t know if it was a coincident, but everyone genius who was fired were the last group of ppl who actually had gone to Cupertino for Genius training! #appleanons #geniusbar #applepurge

@LindaLominger Why would they give you a commission when they have you doing this for free? Managers are only looking out for their bonuses when they “force” all these so called priorities on staff.

If someone wants a $40 screen protector for their current device, they are not in the store to discuss trade-in values or carrier financing. It's beginning to feel like a used car sales environment. It might be time to leave before they switch us to commission-based sales.

@davidaburke @GeniBarGem Ohhh…. This is so NOT the truth! You’ll end up doing 3x the work, miss your breaks and they will ask you to shorten your lunch hour. Also, forget about this effort being remembered during your next review.

@GeniBarGem At least you won’t get hassled because everybody is so grateful you are actually there.

Asking for a friend (really). What do you do if you receive a cash tip from a customer that you are unable to politely decline? (Like if the customer puts the cash on the table and walks out).

@DrunkAtTheGBar I always wondered if appointments would be better or worse if alcohol was served at the GB.

@MisfitTech @Creative_Rants No… no it wasn’t. Handgela® was the wrong choice for Apple Retail. Like they thought they could throw a pile of cash at a problem and it would magically be fixed.

@DrunkAtTheGBar @MobsSteeve They want to buy off of FB or Craigslist or an Airport while on a Business trip overseas instead of “real” store??? They deserve what they get. If they want to bitch about it, hand them a mirror or hand them over to a Manager. You do not get paid enough for that level of stupid

@DrunkAtTheGBar @MobsSteeve Because the person on point most likely never saw the Product®… their job is not to take the Appointment® but get that person ready for Appointment®. I have absolutely no problem with a customer waiting 5 hours only to be to inform them they bought a fake/counterfeit Product®.

@Creative_Rants The first version of the Credo stating "our people" meant the employees. That was the short and sweet mission statement. The second version, created by committee, absolutely meant anyone else who wasn't an employee. This was and still is an insult to the original "our people"

Absolutely insane way to misinterpret that credo line. It literally says “our people” 🙄
Goddamn King of the Universe@ParentingIn2020

@Cloud2Darren I’m want to be clear that this isn’t something inferred. This was nearly verbatim told to the entire store after I participated in a credo exercise about why that line was important to me. That people make the mistake of thinking it starts with our employees

@LindaLominger So damn entertaining to watch… You have to let the newbies know that “that will be you one day” and enjoy the look on their faces.

@MobsSteeve These positions seem to become available ONLY when Management is trying distract staff from the true lack of growth in store. Never work for free or experience…. neither one pays your bills!

There’s a leadISE role that’s opened up in my store andThis is how I see all the gullible people who applied for it . Do extra work for no compensation at all . Basically saying they’re 50/50 on you being an actual LEAD . Degrading !!!!!!!
