Johnson attributes Apple's retail dominance to employee treatment and culture rather than design alone. He notes that Apple Store employees are not paid on commission, which removes sales pressure and lets staff focus on identifying what customers actually need. His new book, 'Shop Different: How Retail Revealed Apple's Genius,' revisits these retail principles.
“The secret sauce for Apple has always been its people, the people in the store, and how they treat the customer.”
