never have i before seen a scammer refuse to scam someone
Tenho Andersson scam me
hahahhaahha
Genuine scammer :D
Maybe, you know, he's not a scammer.
I dont have to scam you over the phone... i can easily brake check you with my shitty corolla and easily get a payday
Yet she still uses apple product to remind her of her humiliation everyday. I would have burned that laptop in front of that store.
she's a brainwashed consumer, like most college students
She tryna flex for the camera
Pratik Patel and then get arrested?
She doesn't seem that dumb...also, that was probably a gift from Apple for what happened to her.
aakksshhaayy You meant "like most apple users", didn't you? :D
Anuj Chitale I had not even seen aakksshhaayy's comment...I sure AF hope they didn't really mean most college students
Video uploaded 6 years ago.. I'm watching it now o.O
ikr
Me too. She's beautiful.
youtube suggestion
John Jeffry yup
Soulful ik
I would have simply said...this is America. im an American. Here is my drivers license and demanded the sale. Why even mention Iranian? He asked what language were you speaking and she gave an answer. Period.
Perhaps she wanted to know if the ipad could be set to the language she wanted and that is what set off the employee.
What the fuck are you even saying, dude? I would have never offered up my drivers license to some pizza faced geek at an Apple store. Fuck them.
mixflip America a continent tho
In America, you can refuse service to anyone. Should be for any reason. Fuck the federal age discrimination law is discriminatory... So what does that say...
wtf are u talking about? two sisters were talking in Farsi and meanwhile, the employees asked what language were you two talking? and then he refused to sell them shity apple products.
just buy it online
she shouldn't have to though
That's not the point. And if you want it n ow, then a store is your only option. Don't make excuses.
Easier said than done.
Thomas Jefferson why+
Thomas Jefferson why should she?
Lol I remember when I used to leave my house to buy shit. Dark days...
Haha I know right? So outdated. The future isn't now, bunch of unadvanced retards trying to feel special about themselves buying dated shit that's existed since the 90s just repaclaged with gimmick fad bullshit to make it useless and overpriced. Bunch of pathetic fucking cavemen.
What's an "outside?" Sounds scary...
yashty100 Yall are just lazy af. Get your ass out and try to walk, or your legs might just end up not working.
blurry face I don’t need your advice.
Hi, my name is Rod X and i am a recovering apple user. I quit using apple products after i had to replace 3 iphones in a year and the 4th went bad before my 2 year contract was up, but the warranty was up after 1 year. I went ANDROID and never looked back. YASHTY100, yeah a store? what is that? It just so happens that i am shopping online right now. YOU know. ha ha
Could the reporter be any more monotonous?
Well, she's a reporter...
Yes
Hourani that is the wrong attitude. Reporters are supposed to report. If something is absurd, they should acknowledge the absurdity. Instead they just try and play neutral in ALL situations, and bible scholars and literalists are placed as equals against educated scientists and doctors in debates.
She sounds like she works for NPR. I about fell asleep listening to her narration.
I love her voice it’s perfect
Hmm...looks like it was inappropriate to call that sales guy a "genius"
He is genius, refusing to sell their outdated overpriced shit because he knows better than any of these sheep.
Bollocks to Apple. I watched a video where someone went into an Apple store and pretended they were from Samsung, and then vice-versa in a Samsung store.
In the Apple store he got told "you can't film in here" and was eventually forced out.
In the Samsung store everyone cheered and laughed with him. The staff joked about how shit Apple were and were very nice about the joke.
...sooo.. where's the video?
so sad this was posted 3 years ago we'll never get the video.
A quick search on youtube would have found it. Try searching this, pretending to be from samsung in apple store.Or if you dont want to do that here is a link to the top video from that search wich i think is it. ua-cam.com/video/2hNuBjXploE/v-deo.html
Samsung stores dont exist. Get ur facts right before you make any sort of statement
OP’s name? Albert Einstein.
Sounds like the Apple employee needs a higher education. The Apple policy was not against selling products to anyone, including Iranians, in the U.S. It prohibits selling products, "directly or indirectly", to Iran. Only if the Apple employee had knowledge that anyone (Iranian or other), was trying to deliver the device to Iran, could they refuse a sale.
F you you are a idiot
Jeremy Battle you suck
fergoesdayton kiss your stupid as'hole idiot
Jeremy Battle. You bitc* please shut up for GODS sake! Omg
Jeremy Battle fuc* you Dumb as*
Apple did that person a favor. Their products are outdated and extremely overpriced when compared to android lol.
Jeez will the jealousy never end
Glo Waves Jealously of what? 😂😂
But tablet wise iPads are better if you use it for apps/games since they are optimized for iPads unlike android which are stretched out phone apps.
AsianGamer Okay i'm not gonna but that's hella true most games on apple tablets are really smooth plus fortnite 😂
Stfu before I take your battery out
Go buy microsoft surface
JannisDavidZwahlen Inc. LOL! This lady was discriminated against, that doesn’t mean she wants a joke of a computer.
Still over priced lol
It’s laggy
why you even need to buy Apple , i mean there are better products then Apple
Jaspreet Singh because people are really retarded, don't know shit about technology and think Apple is good because it's "cool"
I think this was an isolated incident at Apple. I would blame the employee, not Apple.
PornHubChairman You’re like the one guy with a functioning brain here.
I mean he IS the PornHubChairman...
Agreed. And LOVE your name!
The only people who would blame Apple altogether are triggered Samsung fanboys
PornHubChairman Their fault for hiring the employees so yeah it kinda is.
*That employee saved her from a scam, she should reward him*
false title !
apple EMPLOYEES refusing to sell student an ipad
I think she should sue the employee and not apple, because any other employee (in the right mind) would have sold it to her, and would have left out all the country relations bullshit.
Jamie .S Apple is responsible for THIER employees you can’t sue an employe for a policy the company has
Well she will get more money from Apple smartie. Lol why wouldn’t you sue Apple vs Joe Shmoe? I’d pick to sue Apple.
missychelle33 It isn’t apples fault that one of their employees did that.
Chinese Waffles It is. They're the one who hire their employees, and set up regulations for work. Apple likely fired that salesman anyway.
Yea i would be terrified as a cashier if i could be sued. I would have to work all week to pay a lawyer 1 hour.
Even after all dat humiliation she's been through, still using an Apple laptop! What an irony!
If I was the CEO I would have sent her every single high end Apple device that they made to her front door. And briefed the staff. That would have been a much better message than "[nuh uh!]".
The whole time I was thinking how cute she looks!
great job apple. let's keep the world safe
Ok, STFU. "Apple" didn't discriminate against this women. An Apple employee did. As far as I can tell he didn't do so because he was trained to do so by Apple. He didn't do so because an Apple policy directed him to do so. He did work for Apple, in and an Apple store, so assuming this happened as told, Apple owes the women an apology, and they should discipline the employee accordingly. Ultimately they are responsible for the actions of their employee while he is on the job. I personally think the appropriate discipline should be termination. If the women wants to sue, that is certainly her right. However, to turn this into a campaign against Apple for being discriminatory as a company is total bullshit; unless there is some proof that this mans discrimination was at the direction of the Company. The guy is a jerk, fire him, move on. This women wasn't hurt by this. GROW UP.
Ashley Madison *woman. Women is plural.
This is true
Samsung FTW!
I mean you can’t exactly tell her how she felt can you? No. You can’t put words in her mouth, tell her how to feel, or say that she’s acting immature when she actually is a child. She’s a young woman who is impressionable and at an important time in life. What the employee did wasn’t correct, and it shouldn’t have happened- plain and simple. He obviously through all good sense out the window that day and decided to let his bigoted opinions rule. He should pay the consequences now. I hope he did.
Farmboy1544
“FTW” already has the word “For” in it. Dumbass Samsung fanboys lmao
She deserves a free iPad just to keep her from suing.
Legend has it, she is still trying to buy an IPad.
We are all human! It doesn't matter what race, color or religious beliefs e.t.c you are we all deserve the same treatment!!!
I love how when stuff like this happens when one stupid employee does something stupid and a buncha angry mobs go after the entire company and CEO s
well the employee said its apple's policy
john li but the EMPLOYEE misinterpreted it and thought he couldn’t sell to anyone in the US that’s from Iran that’s not on Apple as a company
dude why cant u admit USA companies are racist? U kno steve jobs was a racist white male?
Chakravarti J no just no
Chakravarti J you don’t even know what that means
I'm so sick of people thinking they are entitled.
I had an apple ad on this video about I pads
Employee: what language are you speaking?
Me: not English.
She's cute too.
Lil Unde She is 19.
Rie Kumar it doesn’t matter
Lil Unde It matters a ton, it means she is an adult.
She 25 now
Rie Kumar and she could be married
So you’re blaming an entire company for one employees strange ideals?
She was almost spared from an Apple product and yet kept insisting.
She's cute, that's all I cared about in this not gonna lie.
Chakravarti J Liking a girl makes u a pervert? STFU and use your brain!
Forget about the Ipad!... How did she get the Mac Book Pro... lol... Just give her the Ipad for free and a life time service plan... with all of the know accessories...
yeah and then give her the whole company and then your blood and what else can we give her?
How hard is it to say...let me talk to the manager
1:17 Lol she forgot to say “or any of that stuff”
stay away from apple products, build your own pc
Sergi-OG
Enjoy paying 30$/month for Premiere Pro
Stay away from junky Windows gaming PCs, they remind me of ricer Honda Civics, use Apple products.
Ain’t nobody got for that
RedLight GreenArrow lmao
you can't build your own ipad.
She is smokin hot. Apple is in big trouble.
dokkiro dude she's a kid what the fuck is the matter with you, that's disgusting
mynameis bob u know this comment was 4 years ago lol
-Â N T I - S•O•C•I•A•Ł- it's still disgusting
mynameis bob How do you know hes not a kid too? Idiot.
jexrutin dead meme.
Lmao I like how the reporter and the girl are staring at that “iDiscriminate” photo for a while.
Apple didn't refuse the purchase, an employee did. Big difference
Sue the crap out of them, take a small portion of the money and buy a octa core tablet, and put a sticker on the back that says F^&K apple..
Danie Bredenhann android tablets are for asians and south americans
Funny, if you were serious though I would be worried.
Damn you're pretty cool, I reckon you take a shit without putting the seat down
Android tablets are horrendous to use these days. They have nothing on ipads
This comment section is racist and shitty, no one here is perfect *cough* kylie
i really hate why this news was so ONE SIDED. Pls do more research... PLS BE EQUAL.
I get Dwight from the office vibes from the Employee
To the question of what language do you speak she could of replied in impeccable English. "I'm going to allow you to make an educated guess. What language do you suppose I speak?"
She's pretty hot.
Chakravarti J
1) she's 19 (during this video)
2) this was posted about 5-6 years ago.
3) he/she was just giving compliment.
4) if you really got triggered because someone gave a normal, nice compliment just means that the real person who has issues is actually you.
Chakravarti J projecting. No one cares about guys fucking jailbait. Enjoy the next 7 years of Trump.
Chakravarti J She's a college student, you fucking mongoloid.
Chakravarti J howbdo you know he isn't the same age?
Chakravarti J I thought we was hott too, I didnt know she was underage though, she easily could have passed as 18+ years old.
Apple owes her an apology.
April Cockrell apple does not owe her an apology, that employee should, apple had nothing to do with it
CNN sucks this is example oh I was treated like crap I got beaten up and called names and not sold anything in reality the worker was the problem
April Cockrell Actually just that one shitty employee. Not Apple 🍎 proper.
"we're sorry you didn't waste your money on this garbage and then countless hours after that"
crazy that this happened
The way you wrote ‘iPad’ makes me cringe.
if its law and regulation its normal then...you can't know that she won't take it out of the country or anything.... tho its kinda stupid that she can't buy one
It is not normal to assume that because she is originally from Iran that she will probably take it to Iran with her. The employee had no knowledge of whether she even intended to ever go back to Iran. Unless she explicitly states that she will take it there, then he shouldn't assume.
Yeah but how did the guy know she wouldnt take it to iran.and it was the guys mistake , not the entire apple company.
Are you fucking stupid? She's an American citizen. By your logic, you would not be able to sell to anyone, for fear that they would sell it in Iran, which is perfectly legal by the way. It doesn't include individual sales. Man, UA-cam is full of fuckwitts.
iPads ain't cellular
RSVDCN I
It's not the employees fault. It's just how the employee interpreted the policies.
Thats the first thing that came to my mind when I see their policy. He took it as literally don't sell them this product because of where their from instead just selling it to her and let TSA deal with it.
Which was not correct. He misinterpreted it. I don't what to say...
well actually in "good" customer service the company would say that's STILL the employee's fault for not "thinking..."
He's an idiot, it says don't sell to Iran, someone from Iran isn't Iran, you can sell it to her, if she chooses to take it overseas to Iran that's her problem not Apple's
so it is the employees fault lol
I'd go back a 3rd time and record everything. (Ensure that check 😉)
he had no right to question where she was from she was there to make a purchase ..thats all it should have been
She never thought "SHE" would be discriminated against.....WELCOME TO AMERICA MISSY!!!
You're part of the problem. The lack of understanding that some of you bitter ass people have towards other minorities is ridiculous and undermines your own personal discriminatory experiences. Next time you have an experience like this...think of it as karma, jerk. P.S.... she's an american citizen idiot. I'm pretty she's not ignorant of the shit show that is America at this point.
"Welcome to America" ??? She is from America
You are a dummy doodoo head
We’re ALL fucking human, I’ll never understand why people hate other people just because they’re a minority.
LAX Aviation
So true, I'll never understand why so many black people hate whites and Asians either, but they do.
Lol plz it's a fucking iPad order it online or something
Benny Chun get the asshole fired
that voice is awesome
That man does not negotiate with terrorists
why the hell is she in georgia
icyburger 😂😂
Because is she you fucker
whats funny
Georga is only for White girls!! trump wanna fetish abt his white daughters there!
Chakravarti J have you even been to Georgia? I was there few years ago for basic training, and mostly blacks all around Columbus and Atlanta WTF you talking about.
Wow...just get one from best buy lol screw that apple 'genius'
dumb racist
Chakravarti J pathetic attempt
Who fucking cares about them not selling her an iPad but if you look at 0:44 you can see an old man scratching his ass.
Mistake she made is that she wanted to buy an Apple product in the first place...
Hard to believe, I guess it could happen.
It's not Apple refusing to sell, it's the employee....
Oh My Gosh!!!!!
That is one employee.
The real story is, WHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE STILL BUY APPLE PRODUCTS.
A $10/hr cashier fails to understand the intricacies of international trade laws? I'm shocked!
It sounds like a misunderstanding of the law.
Man if u are treated like that why do u still want to buy ever a product from apple or any other store who treats u like that???
Why didn't she just ask a friend or a trustworthy person to help buy it?
Just sue their ass off.
The beauty
There’s a reason people call you fake news 😂
That day... I would have bought a Dell or a Lenovo.
To all the people who are commenting “oh she should’ve just gone to another store or buy online why she making a big deal out of it” that’s not the point you guys clearly don’t understand
Sounds to me like she is going to get this poor person fired for saving her from planned obsolescence.
Omg, I never knew that apple would do that. I'm returning all of our apple electronics, this is just plain disgusting.
This is tragic.
Fucking brilliant individual , Genius!
What does this have to do with Apple? It's the individual employee who fracked up.
This girl is really petty to make a big deal out of this. Just buy it online and move fucking on.
I hate apple with the strength of a billion suns, and I can tell you this is a storm in a cup
Get it?
I'm just glad that no discrimination goes on in Iran.
I could see this happening years ago (especially during the Steve Jobs era), but Tim Cook's Apple should've teared that employee a new asshole
Did CNN really just spell iPad like “I-Pad”? I’m done.
Wow shame on them
I would love to be in that situation. Sue the living shit about them.
Just buy it online...?
1:14 Congrats to the US State Department spokesperson for using the magical phrase "or any of that stuff" in an official communique.
What would you say to Apple's CEO?
like Tim Cook gives a fuck about what she thinks
That employee has some personal hatreds
How did they know what language she was speaking I've never even heard of, Farsi? This shit is so random.
I hope that employee at least got fired.
I mean but why would she want an iPad?
at 0:53 on this video it looks like she has an apple watch on but it's 2012... ????
Timothy cook has done it again
How did this turn out?
FARSI ??! damn that’s one solid language
how not?
She glossed over the part in the DOS statement that says "or any of that stuff" lol..thats an odd thing
Now she can sue apple big time billions of dollars
