		<description><![CDATA[I think Apple risk diminishing their brand by taking this approach to renumeration. I&#039;m not very impressed with the services at the Apple stores I visit and I usually end up buying my products at local electrical stores rather then specific Apple outlets, maybe the Apple staff are more interested in hanging out than working? For $11 I wouldn&#039;t be too interested in the work either. 

I did however have a great experience with their customer services phone centre recently and it would make me sad if I found out the guy helping me got paid so poorly. Not so long ago it was Microsoft who were the bad guys but now Apple seem to be doing a great job at taking that role.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Even though I had limited exposure to Apple stores in the US beyond the one in Chicago and the Fifth Avenue store in NYC, I would claim that service in the US is better - maybe because of the staff. 
The stores I have visited in Europe are even more crowded and deliver lousy service given that they are even more crowded (the times I visited) than the US stores mentioned before, which makes me believe that the stores will run into another problem - bad service because the easy, geeky approach to service cannot handle that many customers as good as something more structured could.
So once the skilled and capable employees are gone, store experience will really suffer. And who wants to wait for an hour to talk to someone who has no clue. Or do you always plan your shopping trips and make appointments at stores? Defeats the purpose of a nice shopping trip in my eyes]]></description>
