Yes, they can do it at the bar. But it would be silly to bring it out. There is no clean room required, and it would be impractical if not ridiculous to have a clean room in the back of a store.
I was kind of joking, by using the real Amazon service as a prop. Clearly, it was a fail.
Oh, i got that, I just didn't know there was a Mechanical Turk service associated with Amazon at all. I had assumed you just made that up. Like you pulled that as opposed to saying Google Mechanical Turk.
I find it interesting that there are no comments about Apple's decision to move repairs into the stores, but all the discussion is about how big the machine is.

Why is that interesting? The crowd herein doesn't include many techies. But there is nothing wrong or interesting about that.
Calibrate?
The icons looked normal so I went with it. ;-)
No complaints.
Most people also never bother with color accurate TV or computer displays. Whether you or your customers care about it or jot is not, Apple does. I think that's a good thing for consumers.

I highly doubt that the public area is ESD safe, that this thing is something that oculd be moved back and forth without damage. or they would want the people handling the queue to fall behind that obscene '10 minutes appointment' time doing this repair in front of everyone when they can take it to a safe and properly prepared room in the back where a repair person handles it without the stress of someone gawking at them.

Which is exactly how it is handled.
Doesn't sound like you understand what "ESD safe" is about
My guess is that Apple calibrates screen devices to ward off probable 'calibration-gate' accusations from iHaters and Android trolls. The general public doesn't care or can't be bothered about screen calibrations as long as the screen is sharp, readable and the overall color isn't too whacked.
Apple has the best calibration in the industry for their tablets and phones. On the other hand Samsung has some of the worst in the industry their screens skew towards green

Please stop saying what "Steve" would or would not do.

Good for you. Apple seems to have much higher standards of quality than you do.

Did you test each display to see if needed to be calibrated?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Turk

Polypropylene tubing behind it? What do you suppose that's about?

totally correct. Which is why it is where it belongs, in the repair room.

The wires on the right hand side also give a good perspective.
So that's really a Start button, not a round console window for a 6 story sized machine?
