A memory stores a plurality of selected non-point-of-sale (POS) retail sales logistics and supply chain locales and a virtual reality visual interface provides a three-dimensional simulation experience using those locales. At least one camera in the three-dimensional simulation-experience area provides images of a user experiencing the simulation and at least one microphone receives verbalized input from the user during such an experience. By one approach, a computer operably couples to the foregoing elements and serves to present these user with at least one retail sales non-POS logistics and supply chain challenge that features a selected one of the non-POS retail sales logistics and supply chain locales. That computer then monitors the user's response to the challenge via at least the camera and the microphone and advances the simulation experience based upon the user's responses by selectively presenting at least one additional retail sales non-POS logistics and supply chain challenge.
