Theory about placement of Apple stores in Northern VA

Today, I had to take my phone into the Apple store in Tyson's because some repair was needed. The lady looked at the phone and quickly suggested we replace it. I'm not cheap, but I wasn't willing to shell out the money for the same goddamn thing I had. We left and I actually had it repaired by an Ethiopian man in Skyline for exactly 0 bucks. Look at where all the Apple stores are located. In rich white parts of cities, nowhere near the suburbs. I have a theory that these stores are strategically placed where they are to pressure middle class consumers that most likely live in the suburbs to purchase their products. How does it make sense you ask? These stores normally require quite a drive to get to if you live in the suburbs.The human mind will compare the effort it took to get to the store to how much you will be paying for your shitty iDevice,and pressure you into buying it. It's a dirty game, Apple's consumers are sheep to a master.

You summed up the entire paragraph quite well with the last sentence.

Welcome to America. You must new here. Its ok.
Apple stores are in upper class areas for same reasons why you don't see a Tesla dealership in an Amish commumity or truth in mainstream media. They do it for the sales so people get what they want.

You must have a PhD in economics. Stupidity on this site doesn't usually surprise me but the fact that you're rewording a basic economic principle as your own "theory" is hilarious. Give me a fucking break.

Your "theory" can also be referred to as common sense.

If someone, some stupid person, were to involve you in setting up a storefront...

Would you pick Warrenton, VA or Tysons Corner, VA?

I think they should build a Tesla dealership near Lancaster. The Amish need Teslas a hell of a lot more than Nova residents do.

Why do you think the company logo is an apple with a bite out of it? The forbidden fruit, maaaaan. You all have given into temptation.

You can get an iPhone at any wireless store in town. You don't have to go to an Apple store.
