I would probably describe Apple Stores as “busy,” “happening,” or maybe even “populated,” but I wouldn’t have ever described them as “boisterous” .. until I saw the videos below. These two videos are via ifoAppleStore and were recorded at the Apple Store Calle Colón in Valencia, where the local celebration of Falles, to commemorate St. Joseph, has spilled over into the iPhones and iPads. As you can see, a band takes up residence right there in the MacBook section, and while some of the customers look a little frazzled, it does look like a great time.
Kudos to the employees for clapping along, too — I used to work in retail, and I know that as fun as it would be to have live music playing, it would make my job of helping customers and securing the store just that much tougher. But they handle it as well as expected, given that the festival is basically a continuous party over the better part of a week. Viva el iPhone!
