Retailers that sell more expensive products typically hire friendlier, more capable, and more numerous salespeople. This is why many people prefer to buy at an Apple store rather than Best Buy, even though they both carry Mac computers.


I totally disagree. The most expensive things I've ever bought have been terrible experiences. Car and house. Real estate agents are the devils spawn where I live.


Don't you expect better service when you're buying something more expensive?
