I am thinking about complaining to Apple about how I was treated. I got the impression that he thought I was a few cards short of the deck.
They don't care. Apple Inc is focused on diversity and inclusion and virtue signaling. The staff reminds me of what one might see walking down to Fisherman's Wharf 20 years ago. Weird, but not necessarily dangerous.
This is on the Tulsa Apple web site:
Shop by walking in, reserving a one-on-one session with a Specialist or buy online and pickup in store.
Walk-ins are certainly accepted according to the above. But make an appointment just to be sure.
