Yes, consumers have a choice but as in the case with most non-techie folks buying desktops and laptops at the local big box retailer, they're usually easily influenced by sales people.
Never had anyone in an apple store upsell me, never heard anyone trying to do it either when I'm in here just browsing around. I don't think this is a standard apple store policy.

In a big box retailer I could understand.
