However, less than a minute, a female staff approached me and asked what I was looking for. I told her about my broken screen and I was transferred to the guy with the iPad in the center of the room. Then I had to make an appointment for the “Genius Bar,” which is a creative term that Apple had invented that actually means hands-on-diagnosis and troubleshooting (See Figure 2 for the Genius Bar). I was told that they would text me when my appointment is ready, and I could cancel anytime through my phone or even to extend my time.

However, they helped create a warm, friendly and helpful environment and ensured that if help were needed, a customer would be attended to immediately.…
