Apple turns down American cash

"KGO-TV in San Francisco is running an outrageous story about how an Apple Store in Palo Alto turned away a disabled woman who wanted to buy an iPad.

Her crime? She wanted to pay in cash.

Like tens of millions of Americans, she doesn’t have a credit card. Although most members of mainstream society don’t realize it, not having plastic isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s hard to go further in debt when you can’t charge everything.

According to KGO, a disabled woman named Diane Campbell saved up for months, simply wanting to buy an iPad so she could go online.

Once Ms. Campbell had finally saved up enough, she took her savings to the Palo Alto Apple store, with all her money in her backpack. She brought the iPad up to the counter and presented her money — and was turned away.

Apple turned away a disabled woman who wanted to use American legal tender to buy an iPad

 

According to KGO, who contacted Apple for comment, Apple turned her away because their policy is to only sell to people who have a credit or debit card. There are business reasons why this might make sense — for example billing for iTunes crap — but it’s completely unacceptable as a corporate policy."

Talk about being un-American. I must confess, I didn't realize that tens of millions of Americans do not have credit cards. I can't see a life paying bills with fresh American tender. The risk of losing the money and lugging that kind of cash is very unheard of...at least in Southern California. What a horrible way to do business. Personally, I choose PC over Macs but I do love their iPhones and iPods. I just hope one day Apple decides to change their ways of doing business. - Sean, Chief Editor
