This can't be true, Apple is purely known for having amazing fairy-tale/love movie customer treatment.

this kind of stuff happens everywhere, hell I used to work at a chilli's when i was in college where one of the girls was being beaten down by one of her customers so she went and put a little something extra into his salsa that he demanded. That something extra turned out to be menstrual blood :/. Be nice to people is my motto will keep most of this stuff from happening.
