Holiday employee T-shirts at Apple Stores

I've seen those things in the mini Apple stores - the ones that take up around 1/4 to 1/2 of the room of your standard mall store. Bethesda, Maryland is a good example of this kind of store - basically, there really isn't room for a proper checkout and a genius bar, so they just stick a Genius Bar in the far corner of the store and scan you on the sides with portable scanners, if I remember right. Its been a while, as it costs to park in Bethesda Row, and the Montgomery Mall Apple Store is closer anyway. Anyway, nice to see this has been added and made even better with the ability to swipe credit cards.

I'm glad Apple is using these, but they were beaten to it by an Indiana-based carwash chain, Mike's Express Carwash (I am only affiliated as a customer). This year, they introduced these wireless POS devices. Great technology!

Leave it to Apple to start using those portable checkout scanners before anyone else. They are the bomb, and are one of the best thing about eating in European restaurants. Wide adoption of this device, please : )

"I have you in mi-sight" "It maybe small but it fits right in your pocket" It was worth a try

Those wireless devices the Apple Store employees are using run Windows and they crash and hang constantly. I hear the employees hate them with a passion and wish the Newton was called up back up for some holiday handheld duty.

"Keep? Give? Keep? Give? Keep? Give?," reminds me of the ABC Shop (The Australian Broadcasting Corporation Shop that is) adverts where they say "Gifts so good, you won't want to give them away". "May I check you out? It's my job." has to be one of the most interesting slogan's that I have heard. Shame my work doesn't have Wireless checkouts, our registers are quite old (it's an Australian department store).

The only dissapointing thing is that the handhelds are pocket pcs and dont get to excited that they are running a pre-release of the x86 tiger...nope they are using windows for pocet pc's...cool ideal but I just got excited about the possibility of Apple returning to its Newton heydays.

WOW that's awesome..and i just got an interview for this friday :-D

Heh, I love the 'May I check you out? It's my job' tshirt. Fantastic! :)

That is sweet, makes me want to go to my Apple store and purchase something just to checkout while standing in the aisle. Seriously, that's awesome.
