Do the apple sales people get commission? I seldom enjoy working with people looking to influence me to do something so that they can grow their comission.

Do the apple sales people get commission?

It's been widely reported on the internet that Apple salespeople are not on commission, which is what makes the OP's story so curious.

Maybe it's changed since the pandemic.

If I've gotten any kind of general attitude at all from Apple Store employees since the pandemic, it's mainly one of "Why are you here?" Maybe this employee wanted to take advantage of the rare opportunity to do something other than retrieving people's pick-up orders and actually try to sell something, but this is deeply untypical for shopping at the Apple Store.

It has also been widely reported that Apple invented USB-C and gave away for free, and All AirPod were sold at cost or at lost.

The No commission thing were from Steve Jobs era for pete sake. How long ago was that?

Depending on regions all Apple retail employees have KPIs. And we are coming close to 10 years since it’s first introduction.

They don't work on commission but they still have sales targets for attachments like AppleCare and, most likely, the credit card.

Right? This story sounds sus to me. I've visited Apple stores so many times and literally never had a pushy salesperson.

Surely, your anecdotal experiences represent all experiences ever.

They probably have targets. Everything they do is tracked, including sales they close.
