      Maybe they should talk to their employers about being forced to act like corporate mouthpieces. Or refuse. But if a bootlicker wants to lick boot, give em a taste.

      Edit: My bad, I forgot you Americans don’t have workers rights. You get what you vote for.

        Do you think Apple store employees have the CEOs phone number on autodial?

        You’re complaining to the girl at checkout about prices like she has anything to do with it.

          She has a boss doesn’t she? You act like there isn’t a chain of command like she can’t go to her manager and refuse to be a corporate shill.

            Have you ever had a job before?
            There’s no way you’re this out of touch with how anything works.

            You misspelled your username, Karen.

              Yes, plenty, none where I’ve accepted being a corporate shill and lying to the customers. You act like people didn’t agree to do the job they’re doing.

              You misspelled your username too. Corporate Cuck.

                Why didn’t you stomp into the CEOs office and demand change? You seem to think that anyone in any company can do that, so why didn’t you?

                Why are you calling everyone here something that you’re obviously feeling ashamed to be?

        I hope you’re not actually as rude to retail workers, waitstaff, and other members of the service industry as your comments make you seem like you’d be

          I’m not rude to anybody who isn’t rude first.

          But if someone is going to act like a braindead mouthpiece for a corporation then I will tell them why they’re wrong.

          I never said be mean to staff, or rude. And you can’t point out where I have because it didn’t happen. You can still tell staff that insist on telling you that regulators are the cause of e-waste to inform themselves of their corporations decisions and how they sound parroting lies.

            “I’m not rude to anyone who isn’t rude first… but I consider people just doing their jobs as directed by their bosses, in a way I personally dislike, to be rude, so it’s totally fine for me to be rude to them” is a summary of your stance.

              Sure, you could disingenuously misinterpret it that way. Or you could not poorly paraphrase what I said in a manner that assumes ill intent, that’s always a choice.

              I said don’t be rude like 3 times in that comment, what part of that did you miss?

              Do you need an example of how to behave politely while disagreeing with people because you don’t know how it’s possible without being rude?

              Are you saying you lack the cognizance of how to be polite? It feels like that’s what you’re saying.

                  Being rude to you for being a moron isn’t being rude to them. It’s like you practice being this stupid. Huh, now I’m repeating myself.

        Do you have any idea how many people are NOT going to be aware of the change and, if the sales people don’t tell them, it’s going to be a steady stream of Karen after Karen in the store. The general public doesn’t follow the tech news like this. Most of them aren’t going to be aware they’ll need a new cable if they need more than what’s in the box.

            Where in that article, other than the headline, does it say Apple is specifically saying that? It doesn’t. It’s an editorial decision.

            You’re basing your whole rant on what you read in the headline only?

                You said this…

                apple is specifically trying to get their staff to tell people that their old cables are useless e-waste, not to inform them they need new cables, but to disingenuously convince the public that regulators are the cause for the e-waste.

                That isn’t actually stated as fact or rumor anywhere other than the headline. So, yes, you were basing the whole rant in the post I replied to on a headline.
