The Sales Monkeys Are On Hand In Apple Stores
Posted on July 8th, 2008 by Sean Dare
Proof that Apple plans to do exactly what I deposed in my last post. From AppleInsider:
“Apple Retail Stores will open early this Friday to help you get set up and get going with your new iPhone 3G,” the company said in an email to US customers this morning. The same message confirmed that Apple Specialists will be on hand to offer a “Personal Setup” that will help you choose your phone model, select a rate plan, and prep your new handset so that it’s “ready to make calls, browse the web, and receive email right on the spot.“
Ugh.

Sean,
I wanted to follow up on your posting. I too am a fan of gadgets and do not always appricate sales folks. They can be somewhat over bearing and see what they think are the important features. I would like to play devils advacte for just a moment. Is it possible to call ahead and speak with store manager, tell him or her of your concerns? One other avaenue may be to reach out directly to Apple to express concern. They may be willing to contact the store ahead of time to allow the phone to be open by you for the first time. This is may be somethings you may want to consider.
