Visiting the local #Apple store today to try out the #visionpro. Two young men walk in and start yanking all #iphone and #ipad off display tables.

Staff tell customers to move to back of store. Security guards take videos, but wisely don't intervene. Police show up 5m later, but they're long gone.

Staffer, shaken, comes back. Says at least the tables didn't have too much inventory because they had the same thing happen YESTERDAY!

Pic of the display tables after.

@raminf why do they even call them security guards? Sounds like they are just professional witnesses.

@raminf that’s pathetic.
