Well I’ve turned it sideways, upside down and all angles and stared at it a lot. I’ve come to the conclusion you either have a very strange ball bag or have dated men with very strange sacks as I don’t see it.
Got a tip for us?

Same, mostly in Europe though. I also only do full, private apartment/houses. Even sites like booking.com have listings for apartments now.
She was with Apple for five years... she probably told them she was going to go to another company which is why she got the job a month after her current job finalized. If she was fired, it would have taken at least months for her to find a job in a board of directors.
I like the phrase “more dollars than sense/cents”. (Works better spoken than written though)
Her background is irrelevant to the fact she ran the stores into pavement from a customer experience perspective. An Apple store is a miserable experience, with no central location to get service---just people milling about. It's very easy and super frustrating to feel lost in the store.
I complained and complained on online surveys and my local store called me to speak about it. The manager told me they get this complaint all the time and they are as frustrated as the customers. This was right after Ahrendts announced she was leaving and the manager told me they're all hopeful the store layout will change with the new person (forget her name--she's a veteran at Apple).
I live about a mile and a half from an Apple Store. Most times, I prefer to oder online.
Let's make Airbnb places social. More trees and Hermes special editions may help
The new Apple store designs under her guidance were rubbish. Everything is hidden away and its harder to find anything.
They have products out on shelves under spotlights like its a designer fashion shop. It’s a technology company, Apple aren’t selling handbags that need to be displayed in such a way.
Also the trees in some of the stores just look ridiculous.
Good riddance I’d say. Now Apple need to spend more money reversing all the rubbish ideas of hers.

I know how this will go since I have recently purchased a watch at an Apple Store:
When you arrive you will be greeted immediately by a charismatic girl named 'Molly" who seems eager to help, but isn't allowed. She will type your name into an iPad, then call for 'Kip', a lanky flip-flopped guy who will follow you around half-heartedly for 20 minutes asking you probing questions "Have you stayed here before? What will you use this AirBNB for?" and trying to upsell you to AirBNBCare and BNBCloud "Surely you will want more storage for your luggage"
When you have had enough, and ask "Can I just check in?", Kip won't be able to help. Instead you will queue up and wait for 'Brax', a serious looking older guy with ridiculous glasses. He will take your credit card, hold it gingerly with two fingers as if it were covered in spiders, and say disdainfully "Oh, a credit card.. How quaint. Most of my customers use Apple Pay"
Brax will then hand you an assortment of very small, overpriced and extremely elaborately over-packaged shampoos and soaps. When you request a bag to hold these items, he will give you a stern eco-stare and tell you that he has to go to the back of the room, where they keep bags for people that don't care about the earth.

Cook: "She has been a positive, transformative force, both for Apple's stores and the communities they serve."
Oh for God's sake. And they say Steve Jobs lived in a reality distortion bubble. Quick poll... did anyone's city have a ceremony so that the mayor could thank Ahrendts personally?

What in the actual ****?
The woman was charged with oiling a well working machine of Apple Retail. Now she's supposedly valuable enough to help advise a software as a service company?

on a board of director just screams "diversity hire".... especially given how strong Airbnb's retail space is already at... Oh wait
If your scrotum looks like that or you have a loved one who’s scrotum looks like that, please see a doctor immediately.
