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.

    How do you use a tablet one handed? It seems PC is better for that. Even my old blackberry could be operated one-handed, but a tablet? I don't know anyone that I want to help nor will help whilst I engage in porn watching on a fondleslab, as the register calls them. maybe you have a helmet with an extendable arm to hold the tablet at an optimum viewing angle and distance?

    Tell anyone of an engineering mindset to do something impossible and it'll probably get done. I mean they built big honkin pyramids and Stonehenge when most folks today couldn't figure out how to do either with the same tools if their lives depended on it.
