I remember the Apple store in my local area being the most elegant of the available stores, well lit and surrounded with glass windows, being exceptionally clean inside and always busy. The staff were well dressed and the atmosphere pleasant.
I ventured inside a few times to checkout the latest technological offerings of Apple, and was impressed. None of the sales staff ever approached me, but I was able to afford the devices, despite perhaps being dressed as though I couldn't. The irony is that even some of the poorest people in the UK I see walking around with iPhones and their children use iPads.
I never purchased or owned an Apple device to this day, but I did appreciate the well built hardware and snappy software.
