I'm one of the few that steps in an apple store and walks away buying nothing; however, for this Christmas I had to buy two ipods for two cousins. go figure!

well, you are at a store where people pretty much already know what they want, and if they arent ready to buy, then they just dont visit, so, i think your survey is victim to a few of the many classic problems with surveys, in this case, you have a biased sampling, plus its a small sampling, plus you "noticed" something "new" making you suspectible to "seeing what you expected to see", plus you didnt get any actual stats, i wonder if you had a clicker and counted all the people, then checked the receipts for that same duration, not only might you be surprized by fact that number of people buying something turned out to be much smaller than the "every two people" (which i presume means "every other" or "half", but also that the dollar amount may have averaged much less than you guessed for "most" people

but other than that, your photo is nice, would like to get a glance at the one with all the cyan still in it, but then again, doesnt have as much cyan in it as i was remembering before i looked again, smirk

my last comment, i tried to embed my own image of the same stair case in the text, but i guess you dont allow for that, so my last sentence is missing the "mine doesnt have..." word, sniff
