The Apple store staff are not targeted on sales, or have any sales
related bonus. This is more concept sales where the manufacturer
supports the market rather than competing with resellers. This was
the situation many ('80s) years ago with DEC, IBM et al but DEC broke
ranks and started selling against their trading partners with
predictable acrimonious results. I think that the Apple model should
work quite well with the emphasis on training and brand/unix
acceptance, more aimed at the public perception of the PC market and
Microsoft dominance.
Opening date seems to be second week in August, my daughter has a job
there and starts training in a couple of weeks time so I will advise
group when known.
