So I stupidly locked myself out of my phone while I was in Vegas. Unfortunately, I didn't have a laptop with me and resigned to live for three days without a phone. Thankfully, I didn't have to wean myself off of my iPhone addiction since there was an Apple Store across the street from my hotel.
So off I hopped to the Apple Store, and I was greeted by many friendly and cheery faces that were empathetic and helpful. The technicians easily fit me in for an appointment (I didn't even have to wait for a Genius Bar Appointment--WHAT??) and were extremely patient as I lamented the loss of the old Google Maps App before iOS 6.
I was there for about 45 minutes because I needed to restore my data, but I was never rushed, and even though it was very busy, no one rudely asked my mom and me to leave the store, even though we had finished unlocking my phone.
So thumbs up for the service, Apple Store in Vegas. This might be the one instance where I wish that what happens in Vegas did not stay there, as I would really appreciate that same level of professionalism at the Apple Stores on the East Coast.
