  • Unionized Apple Store seeks pay raises, customer tips

    No tips!

    Especially not when only that one store would require them, and none of the other Apple shops would.  That would be crazy confusing for customers.

    The Apple store experience is really taking a down turn.  I can see people avoiding retail Apple shops if more stores start the same pattern of tipping.  Apple customers might opt to just buy online instead, and maybe visit the retail store only to ask a few questions in person. It's possible to return items and get service without visiting a retail store these days.

    With inflation at an all time high, and with Apple selling fewer Macs as a result, the last thing consumers need is a higher cost due to unionization and tipping.  That will provoke more people to just save their money and keep using the devices they already have.

    And to think, all I did was ask AppleInsider to add more info.  Now after that I am told that (1) I am autistic (which is a medical diagnosis), and that (2) what I write is "whack," and that (3) I cannot say certain things, and that (4) I must analyze text only in a certain way.

    Please just ignore my posts in this thread because my original post was not for you.  It's for AppleInsider.  Let's just leave it at that.  Thanks.
    But damnit, here I was analysing that you meant to write something publicly when all you wanted was to leave a tip for AppleInsider; my bad, so here I got you their tip-link so you don't accidentally write your tips publicly the next time: https://appleinsider.com/contact

    You're welcome.
    Just easy off the poor guy, for crying out loud.  Not every post here needs a sarcastic attack.  I too want to see some of the same details he asked for.  And I don't think I need to send a private email to AI to get that done either.  Sheesh.

    I happen to agree with you, Jdw.  So many people, especially in this forum, defend every decision Apple makes, right or wrong.  Fact is a lot of those pro features you mention are important to me, and it's a crying shame some of them were eliminated from the late 2016 and 2017 MacBook Pros.  We can all argue which features are or aren't important to "us" but I still think that much of what Apple delete is still in the realm of Pro.  The only way we can get those pro features now is to get an iMac.  But I already have one of those.

    I also think there's still a place for a larger screen too.  A 17" MacBook Pro model filled with slots and ports would be a dream.
