> probably don't give much of a shit about Dell and its products, other than the fact that they get a paycheck from the company every 2 weeks; many of them probably have MacBooks at home

I worked at an Apple Store before I got the opportunity to move into the corporate world. I was doing sales and I was super enthusiastic about the products (~2005).

I remember this couple thinking about buying their first Mac. The lady was skeptical and asked if I had a Mac at home. I was so surprised by the question that I blurted out, "Of course!" It was like asking if I breathed oxygen.

They both laughed and she seemed to trust me after that. She saw that I wasn't a used car salesman and they bought whatever it was that we were discussing, probably an iMac.

I always chuckle to myself at how preposterous the question seemed to me at the time. But yeah, a lot of people just show up for the paycheck and have absolutely no buy-in about what their company makes.
