Lines at Apple Store

[xsimplyjosh]

This has benn going on for years here in NYC with Asian people lining up to buy phones for full retail. It's true though, none of speak hardly any English and pay with either cash or Apple gift cards.

Apple can't really put a stop to it though, I mean they are buying it for full price just as anyone else would. What they do with the phone is their business. I do however dislike scalpers and resellers for this very reason. Hurts the person who genuinely wants to buy the phone for personal use.

i hate scalpers in general. ESPECIALLY my own race [asians] they tend to be the ones who are very quick to rush on an opportunity. hurts the consumer who wanna pay original price.

the only way is to not attend to scalpers then they will feel boredom and annoyance.
but then again if the consumer is so desperate then there is nothing i can do...

for me i can wait for 2-3 weeks for iPhone X delivery as of now. My current iPhone 6s plus still works like a gem but now it feels big after handling the iPhone X in store

tl:dr ; don't give scalpers attention, you will piss them off by not giving them your attention , and You win, they lose out.

Bro, this is the second time you've said you hate your own race in an effort to ingratiate yourself with the majority. You are embarrassing yourself.

Sorry, but seeing Asians in line at the Apple store, and automatically drawing the conclusion that they are scalpers, is racist. While some may be scalpers, so may any other race in that line.

Let me get this straight as to what we find acceptable in society:

See a White kid with a backpack in line at the Apple store: no judgment. Just a White kid buying an iPhone.

See an Asian in line with a backpack: "Oh that Asian must be scalping in China."

This is the same as seeing a Black kid with a backpack in line at the Apple store, and drawing the assumption that he is going to steal something.

In the LA area, the most common race I find waiting in line to scalp things is Latino, and it probably has more to do with the demographics of this area (high Latino population, plus a high unemployment rate within that population). However, I would never look at a Latino, and make that judgment, let alone make that judgment based on hearsay on a website. If OP had said "I see a bunch of Latinos in line, are they scalping in Mexico?" I bet a lot more people would have reported this junk thread.
