The incident occurred at the Apple Store in Manhasset, N.Y. (pictured above). Her lawyer explains:
"There were no markings on the glass or they were inadequate. My client is an octogenarian. She sees well, but she did not see any glass.
"Apple wants to be cool and modern and have the type of architecture that would appeal to the tech crowd, but on the other hand, they have to appreciate the danger that this high-tech modern architecture poses to some people."
Already, Apple has a number of stickers placed along its all-glass fronted retail stores, as you can see in the below image.
But, is this enough?
Apple’s glass-fronted stores do look impressive and are in keeping with the company’s elegant design ethos, though on reflection see-through swinging doors may not be such a great idea.
