Apple are in magazinele sale un sistem numit EasyPay care permite clientilor sa cumpere produse prin simpla scanare a codului produsului intr-o aplicatie speciala oferita de companie. Dupa scanare vizitatorul poate achizitiona produsul in baza unui Apple ID, lucru pe care a incercat sa il faca un vizitator al magazinului Apple din Manhattan. Pentru ca aplicatia nu a completat achizitia si barbatul nu si-a dat seama ca nu a parcurs toti pasii pentru a cumpara o pereche de casti, membrii echipei de securitate l-au acuzat de furt cand a incercat sa paraseasca magazinul si au chemat politia pentru a il aresta.
I pulled out my iPhone, and realized it still showed the Pay Now button, and not the receipt,” Shine said. “I told them I had no intent of stealing; I’ve been in the store for an hour, and I’m still willing to purchase the headphones.”
That didn’t satisfy the Apple Store staff. “They said, they see this all the time, and that they knew I had the intent to steal, and this was an easy excuse,” said Shine, who pointed out to the manager that he had asked for—and received—a bag from an Apple Store employee for the headphones. When you successfully complete a transaction, the Apple Store app clearly states that, to get a bag, “just show a specialist your receipt.” Shine says the Apple Store employee he spoke to didn’t ask to see his receipt, compounding his own error with the app.
Practic vizitatorul spune ca fara sa vrea era sa fure o pereche de casti dintr-un magazin Apple, iar angajatii companiei spun ca el este doar un hot, la fel ca si ceilalti care au folosit aceasta scuza cand au fost prinsi. Adevarul este desigur undeva la mijloc, insa voi trebuie sa aveti intotdeauna grija daca alegeti sa folositi asemenea sisteme de plata.
