There is an opposite angle, which is that there are too many people there with free time, just strolling around, perhaps drunk or giddy, looking for diversions with no intent, or likelihood, of a purchase. I see it kind of like the Sony Store on Michigan Avenue, which I think ended up inviting in a lot of casual shoppers in to play, but not to purchase. Granted, Apple is not stocked mainly with high-end items like Sony, but they do have their help desk / advice personnel, so you'd have a lot of aimless people wandering in to ask random questions and generally waste the employees' time. However if Apple sees it as a loss-making branding exercise, then more power to them.
