You never know what you will see when your in a Apple store. Seems Apple has been working over time to disgrace itself in the eyes of corporate executives lately with the MobileMe fiasco and lets not forget about the iPhone 3G call dropping issues.
Apple latest foolish impulse seems to burning corporate executives whom were previously favorable to Apple products. What happened? Well it's seems that Apple will no longer allow corporate staff to go into Apple Stores and buy iPhones or iPhone upgrades for their executives. I have personally seen mindless Apple store drones give the brush off to authorized technical support staff and executive admins telling them to have their CEO's or President's come down and stand inline and sign AT&T contracts. Yeah, like that is going to happen. You should have seen these folks trying to explain that they had purchased and upgraded numerous iPhones before and never had a problems. But the Apple employees would have none of it and handed out business cards of the store manager to the shocked corporate staff and said they could complain if they wanted. Now I remember the days when Apple was not doing so good and would have been excited to sell any equipment to any business person. So in the end all I can say is that this half-baked smack in the face to the corporate elite will not go well for Apple in the long run. After all do you think they would have received the same frosty reception in oh say the Verizon or T-Mobile stores?
