Fruit Stand Genius

Ron wouldn’t have let this happen. Just Another Dumb Ox Dragging The Fruit Stand, 10+ years in. Views are my own

This use of this meme is the most real to me - Ron didn’t need to be concerned about numbers as (insert whoever is in charge of retail now), he created an awesome experience. Nothing like it today.

What was Apple Retail like under Ron Johnson?

@IAppleretail I’ve been away since late February, and I’m still coming to grips with the gaslighting done to me and the perpetual state of hyper-vigilance I was kept in as a Genius. I can say, though, that it’s starting to get better for me. Take care of yourself.

@NoMoreWalkIns It’ll be an ordeal - she’s not going to understand why the data can’t be moved to whatever the fuck she buys, but there’s only going to be 1/2 a GB of data anyway (that she doesn’t even remember is there). I took that appointment too many times.

Bobby passed away here at home. I held him tight in my arms as he left us. I am forever heartbroken. Thanks to all of you for your many prayers over the years. He had been "FLOXED," it took his health over the last 6 years and 2 months. Rest with God, my Love. -Mary Caldwell

it looks like all of the part timers at my store who work primarily evenings are being “asked to quit”.

Is this happening at other stores?

The Close Your Rings prize this year is going to be the credo on Genius Bar work authorization paper

[Fruit Stand Genius @Bring_Back_Ron]

@GeniusBarTales Hey @GeniusBarTales - I’ve worked in Apple Retail since ‘09 - this was never cool. Did you used to do this?

[Fruit Stand Genius @Bring_Back_Ron]

@creativeproZAC Yeah, don’t enable that person by helping them. Send them to On Point and put them through the workflow - they aren’t special.

[Fruit Stand Genius @Bring_Back_Ron]

eSIM can fucking eat it.

[Fruit Stand Genius @Bring_Back_Ron]

@GeniusBarTales Yep.

[Fruit Stand Genius @Bring_Back_Ron]

@y0ryan If someone calls out, Genius Bar is fucked any way you dice it. At least part time I’m getting fucked less often 🤣

[Fruit Stand Genius @Bring_Back_Ron]

If you work Apple Retail and aren’t part time yet, please stop hurting yourself.

Go to part time and get a second gig. There’s no reason to pound your head against that wall.

Customers when they want to sit in store and talk to Apple Support

Me sitting in the every download knowing none of these slides are GB related and contribute nothing to doing my job better

[Fruit Stand Genius @Bring_Back_Ron]

@PZinGillead This ain’t it, chief.

[Fruit Stand Genius @Bring_Back_Ron]

@galaxyexploring This happened when the iPhone started being sold at Walmart. Before that, it was primarily tech-interested people. Now it’s people complaint about their washing machine who don’t want to learn about how they work.

@BradBrovino How many likes/retweets will get me 13 years of consistent raises & Apple-level benefits?

[Fruit Stand Genius @Bring_Back_Ron]

Real ones will remember when this was all we were talking about. Multiple sets $50 at Goodwill.

[Fruit Stand Genius @Bring_Back_Ron]

@FlaggedForDepot I performed that role for a while, and there wasn’t a better education as to how the store works than doing that job. You had a bird’s eye view of every moving part in the store.
