For me, going to an Apple Store is like pulling teeth. Most days, there are a ton of people who are there to just browse or play with the equipment. I hate crowds.
But, I managed to lose my USB cable for my iPhone on a business trip and found myself at the Apple Store, in the Biltmore Fashion Park.
I found parking at the front of the mall. I believe it was a 20 minute parking limit. So, I prayed that going in and out of the Apple Store was going to be painless. Turns out, it was! Greeter asked what I needed and sent me to the back of the store. A young gentleman had one already. When I asked for one with a longer cable, he pulled out another one, which worked for me.
Swiped the credit card. Signed on the line. I was done. The receipt was sent via email. I left the mall with 5 minutes to spare. Good enough for me.
