Extreme company kool aid... Apple can do no wrong.
Hypocrisy.. say does not equal do. Corporate values aren't always reflected in individual retail stores.
Mgmt hears but doesn't listen...Tries to solve deep-rooted problems by throwing a fresh coat of paint on and renaming it. They're afraid to call a problem what it is because thats too negative, "it's actually an 'opportunity.'" That's noble in general, but taken to this extreme just creates more problems by avoiding the actual issues. So we plaster on smiles and bend over backwards to "position" things differently to customers and to ourselves. Heaven forbid we speak realistically and think critically. Mental acrobatics because saving face is everything.
