Wow! first i read Yelp reviews about rude people working at the Scottsdale Apple retail store. My immediate thought was "yeah RIGHT" - how can retail employees be rude to customers?!
Two answers:
1) Apple (Apple seems to have an invitation only cult following)
2) Scottsdale (Scottsdale has a snob reputation anyways)
When i first entered the store, i wandered around for 10 minutes looking for somebody to help me. Finally I managed to talk to the guy up front. His advice was go to wander around and find somebody to help me!
Ok i finally found somebody to help me. Hmmm now l learn i cannot buy an Apple Desktop from the store because they have none to sell me. And I cant get one ANYWHERE in the state of Arizona. Can i buy the floor model? No, thats against apple store policy to have an empty space out there on the floor!
Needless to say, i left empty handed. Somehow my old windows-7 box didn't look so bad after all!
