But the Apple store personnel are a little bit more than just cashiers. They actually have to communicate with the customers. In the end, it's up to Apple. It's their company; they can check them if they care to, in my opinion. I don't have to worry about these things.
Then they should be hired on whether they can communicate, not what they do in their off time. Or would you be OK with your employer making it a condition of your job that you stay out of the sun, and tests you for sun exposure, because they feel having a tan is bad for their business.
Or perhaps they test for alcohol consumption, because you
might come in with a hangover one day.
Perhaps you are OK with them monitoring you TV habits - because watching late-night movies
might mean you will come in tired.
Or, to keep the analogy really close. Your employer insists on monitoring your bike or car, because they don't want you breaking the law while riding or driving. Could be bad for business if you are tied up in court, or if a customer recognizes you as you slide through that stop sign.
I had thought that the American system was that it's citizens have the right to do anything,
except for those rights that they have given away in the interest of their safety, well-being, and orderly functioning of Society.
Am I wrong?
