Apple Store Employees Soak Up the Atmosphere, But Not Much Cash

Posted by timothy on from the paid-entirely-in-itunes-scrip dept.

raque writes "The NYTimes is reporting on just how badly Apple Retail employees are being paid. Apple is exploiting its fan base for cheap labor. This is one reason I don't go to Apple Stores if I can avoid it. Stores like NY's Tekserve offer a great shopping experience without so exploiting their workers." Would you rather start at an Apple store for $11.91 an hour (average starting base pay, according to the linked article) and an employee discount, or at Tiffany for $15.60?

    Maybe that's because most PC manufacturers use Apple as an R&D department.
