  Maybe they should talk to their employers about being forced to act like corporate mouthpieces.

    Do you think Apple store employees have the CEOs phone number on autodial?

    You’re complaining to the girl at checkout about prices like she has anything to do with it.

      She has a boss doesn’t she? You act like there isn’t a chain of command like she can’t go to her manager and refuse to be a corporate shill.

        Have you ever had a job before?
        There’s no way you’re this out of touch with how anything works.

    I hope you’re not actually as rude to retail workers, waitstaff, and other members of the service industry as your comments make you seem like you’d be

      I’m not ruse to anybody who isn’t rude to me.

      But if someone is going to act like a braindead mouthpiece for a corporation then I will tell them why they’re wrong.

      I never said be mean to staff, or rude. And you can’t point out where I have because it didn’ t happen. You can still tell staff that insist on telling you that regulators are the cause of e-waste to inform themselves of their corporations decisions and how they sound parroting lies.

        “I’m not rude to anyone who isn’t rude first… but I consider people just doing their jobs as directed by their bosses, in a way I personally dislike, to be rude, so it’s totally fine for me to be rude to them” is a summary of your stance.

    Do you have any idea how many people are NOT going to be aware of the change and, if the sales people don’t tell them, it’s going to be a steady stream of Karen after Karen in the store. The general public doesn’t follow the tech news like this. Most of them aren’t going to be aware they’ll need a new cable if they need more than what’s in the box.

        Where in that article, other than the headline, does it say Apple is specifically saying that? It doesn’t. It’s an editorial decision.

    “You get what you vote for”. My friend, you are unfamiliar with American politics it seems. Corruption exists in the world and gerrymandering is a problem in the us. I implore you to see others with empathy instead of hatred.

    This comes off very condescending and xenophobic. I get that other countries have better rights. I’d love to have that. But if you don’t quite know the extent of what you’re hatefully spewing, maybe try to see things through others shoes instead of insulting them. We are all people and the world would be a better place if everyone realized that.
