#2Perhaps the students were treated better at the Apple store because they were buying 15 macbooks. Surely they didn't spend that much money at all the other mall stores.

Well, it wasn't the employee that was getting the money.
However, on a larger scale, I would tend to agree that stores that sell expensive things hire better salesmen.

I'm surprised the school didn't work with Apple's education group (which you have to do over the phone)

What a cynical attitude. Do you think it's justified to give disabled people a bad attitude and poor service just because they're not spending a lot of money on your product?

Where did you read that in typpo's comment? The was clearly no "ought" implied. But it is a fact that people are treated more nicely by salespeople when they're buying something (especially something expensive) than when they're not.

#8It's a nice story but the MSRP of that 160GB MacBook was $1,499.00. So the kids paid $22,485.
So it's comparing Apples with common everyday oranges. (Pun indended)

No, but it's what tends to happen. You'll usually get better service just about anywhere if you look like a big spender or if there is PR at stake.

#10What is heartwarming about this other than this person patting themself on the back for being a decent human being?
While it's nice when someone is reasonable and polite but it doesn't magically make up for the other 100 people who acted like I don't have the right to get on the bus.
