*Complaining about Apple store below*
I will probably be in the minority here but I dislike the Apple store. That whole setup just annoys me. As someone who had never been in the door before, I wasn't sure how it worked. I found someone with a blue shirt on who looked like she hated her job, and asked her if they had any in stock. She then informed me that they had very few in stock, and then stared expectantly at me. Even though it wasn't exactly what I was looking for, I told her that I might buy the model they had - if there were any left. She then walked me over to the iPad 'station' and pointed at a demo model. I was then told to push the specialist button and that would put me in queue to talk to a salesperson. It seemed like a cross between a high tech shoe store and a bakery where one takes a number. Anyways, I just ended up walking out as the method of service combined with the absolute throng of humanity was irritating.
Again, judging by how crowded that store always is, I'm likely in the minority.

Your not. I hate the Apple store, it is a victim of it's own success. I only go in there to demo a product, then order online if I like it. I know I don't get it right away but I just can't stand being in that store. As a person who has a tech background I find the clientele in the store makes me really uncomfortable.
