I've seen a video about the scanner that was before the iPod touch.
You mean the original "EasyPay" handhelds that ran Windows CE and constantly lost signal? I ran 10 customers through the standard POS iMac in the time it would take a fellow Mac Specialist to ring out a customer with "EasyPay".
this is not Apple Retail. It's an employee who thinks he has talent.
Talented people are very empowered by some of Apple's stuff. As are the no taste, less talented. It's part of the course. Fortunately, cream does rise to the top in the end.
There's no way a manager didn't sign off on this for some sort of "team meeting". That's fine that the employee thinks he's talented. But the "drill-into-your-head" retail message is not the original spirit of Apple Retail. That''s my only point.
