Staff at an Apple store in Brisbane have been fired for stealing photographs from customers’ phones. The employees had also taken photographs of female customers and staff without their knowledge or consent, then shared them with employees at other Queensland stores. A staff member had noticed a technician looking through a customer’s phone in the repair room at the Apple store in the Westfield mall in Carindale, Brisbane, earlier this month. One staff member told the paper the “disgusting” practice was possibly occurring at other Apple stores in Queensland and, potentially, Sydney. A statement from Apple to the Courier-Mail confirmed the Carindale store was being investigated.
