Never again.

Between the idiotic continued mask policy and the workers with Pronouns on their name tags it will be a long time until I set foot in that place again.

The masks were stupid a year ago and they are even more ridiculous now.

Seriously? I wonder if they make them do that or if it’s a choice. I swear to God I’d instantly quit any f’n retail job that tried to make me participate in that dumb fricking exercise of insanity.

Dear diary,

Today I was triggered by a piece of cloth and some text on a name tag.

Sounds traumatic.

Did you immediately leave or did you stay and get whatever you wanted accomplished?

Was the customer service poor?

Was someone mean or rude to you?

Are you an ultra sensitive person?

Really curious because you sound mad.

You should’ve publicly poked fun and shamed them. That’s not normal and they need to know that.

Cults do culty things. As all things Apple/Mac. C'est la vie.

Manage your expectations better.

Are their policies dumb? Sure. Should you have known that and expected it before you arrived? You betcha.

Make up ridiculous and offensive sounding words, say they are your pronouns and force the wokers to use them

My experience at the woke Apple store


Oh let me tell you about my observation with this! Right in the midst of Apple losing their shite over the Georgia voter ID laws and spearheading the punishment aimed at Georgia over the laws that had just passed, my daughter had he IPad break. She had insurance and had called the Apple hotline to schedule an appointment to get it rectified. In the initial convo with the rep, he asked MY 11 YEAR OLD daughter three times about an Apple ID.

So then we went to the store and they asked her again for ID twice. So here is this gigantic tech company who wants to stick their chest out about how woke they are, bitching about some rather weak voter ID laws that relate to who becomes the most powerful person in the world yet they harangue an 11 year old for ID when she wants to get her freaking IPad fixed!

TL:DR...frick Apple and their stupid arse duplicitous, phony outrage, condescending racist bullshite!

I’m trying to think in what context you would even refer to an employee using a pronoun.
