Touching the back wall of the Apple store

A few years back I went in to buy an Apple TV. Walked in, straight up to the Apple TV display, stood using it for a few mins, stood looking outwards towards the rest of the store, tried to make eye contact with any staff. No one paid any attention, staff happily chatting away to each other. I couldn't have looked more ready to buy without waving cash around.

Apple Store employees are definitely trained better than the average shop, but they are far from luxury.

I wonder if they’d have acted any differently if you had actually waved cash around.

... or approached a human in a  logo'd uniform and say, "Hello person. Can you help me, please?"

You know, like our parents and grandparents would have done at a store. With humans who shouldn't be beckoned by glaring while standing near a display.
