From MacRumors:

"So, again, we do - you guys were hired because you're the best people in the world. And you know how to service customers, but we are sprinting a marathon and it's not going to stop. Right? We're going into the holidays, we'll go into Chinese New Year, and then we've got a new watch launch coming in the spring." The report also notes that Apple will be training its retail employees on how to introduce customers to the Apple Watch.
