I doubt it was racism, working in retail you are naturally wary of people in your store, especially groups of teenagers. I think they were wrong asking them to leave before they did anything wrong though.

Apple have now said sorry to them.

The Lads have been back to store and were given Goodie bags.

I was so tempted to, I was actually really angry walking back and I hardly ever get wound up. But I'm not very confrontational, I'd probably end up apologising to them or something daft haha!

People don't go to apple stores much?


Half the people in there aren't there to buy things. They go to has a look at the new products or use the wifi and **** a lot of the time. Saying they should be kicked out for having no intention to buy is stupid.
