Apple is notorious for its permissive attitude when it comes to accommodating customers in its retail establishments, a fact most recently proven in Japan.

But there has to be a limit as to what’s allowed and what's not allowed to do in the Apple Retail Store, one would think.

Just like the renowned Myth Busters, comedian Mark Malkoff decided to put Apple retail to the test and see if they’d put up with his stunts (video embedded below).

For his first visit, Malkoff decided to order himself a nice pizza.

Not only did the pizza boy deliver as if the SoHo store's upper floor was Malkoff’s home, the Apple retail staff thought what he did was “awesome,” and continued with their duties as the comedian was stretching the hot mozzarella on a table full of iPods.

For his next stunt, Mark set out to the iconic Fifth Avenue store in New York where he ate, drank, and danced with his wife Christine as the blue T-shirts walked right by, going about their business.

Admittedly, they refused to dim down the lights when Mark asked if he could achieve a more romantic effect.

His third gig involved the Apple Store in West Nyack, NY, where he went to get his iPhone repaired dressed as Darth Vader.

The staff joked telling Mark to "use the force" to get his Apple device working again, but then offered their full service, and even hugged the Star Wars bad guy on his way out.

Finally, he brought a pet goat into the store at Broadway and 67th Street, asked whether there was any grass around to feed the animal, then walked out without incident.

"I'm amazed by what the Apple Store will allow," Mark Malkoff said. "There are hundreds of videos online of customers singing and dancing in the middle of their stores. It's hard to imagine any other big chain greeting my antics with laughs and hugs."
