Mel Gibson making the talk show rounds for "Braveheart" said the local extras were kinda rowdy, he asked one what he wore under his kilt, got back the reply, "yer wife's lipstick".
Got a tip for us?

Right so they will have more accessories in back than are on display, and if you want something you have to try and flag down one of the hipsters (who often just ignore most people in their store) and ask for it, and they will have to run to the back and try to find it. Ooh I bet they will just say "Golly we don't have those right now" so they won't have to bother. Do they really not have one? I won't know since the product is HIDDEN IN THE BACK.
Does the woman running this circus ever actually shop for anything herself these days? Sounds like she modeled this on sending her EA out to get anything she wants...
If its not on display I am going to assume you DONT SELL IT IN THE STORE. Unless its an emergency I'd probably just buy it off Amazon with Amazon Prime and get it delivered to my home. At least that way I'd know if they actually have it in stock immediately.

Im actually hoping for a per WWDC Mac release happening with this. It wouldnt be unpresidented as they have done pre WWDC updates before. This usually happens when something brand new us to be debuted at WWDC.
In any event if i get to an Apple store every two years im doing good. To put it bluntly they went a little too far upscale for me, charging way too much for simple crap. The high prices they charge on Apple branded cables (which are crap cables) is a bit frustrating.

So every store now has a bearded lady - plus extra bush?
Is there more in the picture than a bearded hipster wearing a kilt with brown hiking boots and black socks (as if he would ever brave the wilderness)? Because that's all I can see every time I look.
So now with the updated stores that are already packed, we need to traverse the giant planters with trees that take up retail space?
I'm fine with the environment and all, but are they not the most coveted price per sq. foot retail business on the planet still?
Makes sense
The planters are seats. seems like they are meant to be sat upon.
Utili-kilts are very popular among hipsters in Seattle. Some of those hipsters are rather old. I worked at this company that used to have a casual shorts acceptable dress code that the tech guys took full advantage of. The dress code changed and one of the individuals was not happy. Under the updated dress code skirts of a certain length were acceptable. Since the policy did not specify the skirts specifically to females he started wearing the utili-kilts and there was nothing that management could do. It helped that he was very good at his job and he and the entire department was never customer facing. He was in his mid to late 50's.
Keep in mind that most of those hipsters working the store floors make just a little bit more than minimum wage. They are expected to know a lot of technical details and being encourged to be proud that Apple has 250 billion dollars in cash that the executives are unwilling to spread around to the employees that actually sell the products.
"A customer interested in purchasing an accessory that isn't readily shelved can simply ask an employee, who will grab it from the back."
L.O.L.
Waiting for an employee is already a complete disaster.

I came here to read humorous kilt-related posts...I was not disappointed.
I didn't notice or read anything else about the article after i saw the kilt, got distracted.
I'm Scottish and this is pure right-on PC nonsense. It is not a common sight in Scottish Apple stores and the footwear and the rest don't coordinate. Indeed the individual could do with a makeover himself while they're at it. And you do realise this is literally a cut and paste montage of cosmopolitan society members, don't you? It's not real. Still, looks suitably diverse for the masses, dunnit Tim? (Sigh)
For anybody in Toronto, the BCBG store next door to Apple Store Eaton Centre is closing soon. It's an opportunity to double the size of the store. It badly needs it!
I'll be a little upset if all they do is update the look of the store. It's amazing that downtown Toronto only has a tiny mall store.

This x100. How is this easier than my sitting comfortably at home ordering online?
Apple stores are already unbearable places. I agree that this is a staged photo and a very unlikely scene due to the kilt.
I think Apple Store employees are the most annoying sales staff. I'd rather they were rude than this over familiar type who want to be super helpful and are 'amazed' by how good the product is and know all about it as their boyfriend or mom bought one last week and was blown away by it.
If I want to buy something there and I pick it up and approach you so I can pay for it, you don't need to sell it to me. You have my card in your hand!
Yes, I'm a total grinch in shops.
