An Apple store found a new low recently when a Sydney, Australia father was not able to purchase an item because the Apple staffer would only process his payment using Apple pay. In a move the buyer recounts as being 'stupidity', a staff member repeatedly tried to get the customer onto Apple pay instead of just processing the payment for the item. Things went downhill after the staffer asked the customer if he had an iPhone. The customer got the impression that he would need to use the Apple Pay app to buy what he wanted, when what he really needed was to pay and leave. After trying, and failing, to find a staff member who would just process his payment, the customer left the store, walked across the street, and purchased the same item from a JB Hi Fi store.

Radioshack wanted to collect name, address and phone number for all sales. Since Radioshack was usually the easiest place to buy a transistor with out any warning I got very used to saying no. Not everyone behind the register understood that not every customer wants to provide such information though.
One time I told the guy it's a cash sale. He kept asking my last name. I kept saying cash. He kept asking. Then I finally said Cash. My name is Johnny Cash.
God damn.
