It amazes me that they need 20000 sq ft to show off a handful of products that, to be honest, almost everyone knows, has touched, used, etc. Tables as far as the eye can see...for what? Tiny iPhones, iPads, tiny watches, and a Mac or two.
I've always wondered what people DO when they go into an Apple Store? Do they not have friends with iPhones and iPads to play with before buying? I think most people have already made up their mind when they walk through the doors...having hands-on product seems unnecessary.

But what are they doing in there? They've never seen or touched an iPhone before? Most of the product is stale, so they're not there to "see what's new!"...the same logic applies to the MS store...but there, my logic plays out as the store is empty.

I know it’s a store, but people there do seem happy, as they do at the Church I go to.

In Washington, I’d walk by the Microsoft “store” at the Alderwood Mall, and while it is in a high traffic area, there are a few people around it, while 100 yards away, at the Apple Store, it is packed with people. If the Apple Store was an empty edifice, I’d be upset, but since they aren’t, I say it is money well spent.
