Apple stores across America are planning to charge an Entrace Fee of $5. Large crowds flocking to see the iPhone and next generation iPods have forced Apple to begin charging an entrance fee for Apple stores.
“Part of the move was to limit crowds to keep the stores safe, but also we wanted to keep the right kind of people in the stores,” said vice president of retail outlets, Vince Sciopiano. ”By ‘right kind of people’ I mean true Apple customers with money, willing to pay just to look at our newest wares.”
For the $5 fee, customers will get an Apple button which will allow them entrance into the store and is used to track the customer’s movements. The $5 fee could be applied to purchases on that visit.
