Jeff Pulver visits Apple Store in Century City (LA) and finds that while there are "Geniuses at Work", there isn't anyone behind the counter to ring up a sale
lol, the same happened to me, but I found out after about 2 mins (a sales rep came up to me)that each store employee has a PDA to check you out. They take your money or CC on the spot then get the product. Its different, no real checkout place, but I liked the concept of any sales rep being a checkout.
Apple store staff now have mobile things for selling, and don't use the register point unless they making a refund or something, so they don't stand there anymore. But one of them should have come up to you to help. or did you scare them all away :-p
I missed nothing. Doesn't matter if he broke through 12 of them like a wide receiver breaking a defensive line. It's still their job to play zone and keep a body at the cash register.
Though I admit the overall importance of the whole issue rates down there with the immortal "tastes great" vs. "less filling" dilemma.
Although I think your analogy is very clever you are still wrong... it has nothing to do with PC vs Apple... How is a person that has never visited an Apple store supposed to know that anyone can ring up a purchase if that is not the norm in any other store?
that was incredibly pointless

I agree that there should be a sign in the back stating that the reps are the checkouts.

You miss the point.
How many Apple Store employees did he walk by to get to the counter?
