Found Footage: EasyPay

by Scott McNulty Dec 25th 2006 at 8:00AM


Blogging for TUAW is great. If I weren't blogging here I wouldn't have found this a Christmas present waiting for me in my Inbox. A little birdie sent along this a video, created by folks at the LA Apple Store, featuring some dude dressed up as an EasyPay unit and a creative reworking of What Is Love. This video tries to encourage Apple Store employees to get people to pay using EasyPay (which Mat covered here).

The video is about 57 megs and clocks in at a little less than 5 minutes long. UPDATE: Apple has informed us that the video is internal to Apple and not intended for public viewing, and therefore requested that we remove it from our server.

LOL. Those of you who think these people got in trouble for doing this are mistaken. This was video distributed originally on the Apple intranet to other stores. I remember seeing this back when it first hit the intranet mainpage. We all loved it because we HATED using Easy Pay for that very reason. Slow as fuck, always shutting off and taking a million years to reboot, never reading AmEx cards, short battery life. Easy Pay was evil for those of us who were used to working at POS. Once Easy Pay got it's POS upgrade it was better, but still not fun. And the Mac Specialists NEVER used them! Frustrating, to say the least.

That guy in the blue shirt with the boombox would get it so hard. I'm going to that Apple store to find him.

I used EasyPay at the Mall of America store back in March. The transaction went off without a hitch. I only wish the lovely Candace from the video was the sales clerk.

It's nice of them all to have put their names in the credits. That way when Apple corporate sees a public video shot on company property mocking a technology deployed at the stores, it'll be easier to fire the folks.

Thanks, folks. The "Read" link works for me in Safari 2.0.4. I just never would have expected that to be the link.
