Y'know those wireless hotspots they provide at Apple stores for people to go and check their mail and stuff? I was allowed to use my VAIO at the store in Boston to check my mail but anywhere else I've been I've been told that "this wireless AIRPORT spot is reserved for APPLE users only". Nice promotion of their product, right? Every time I’ve wandered into an Apple store in the US I’ve gotten said “attitude” about being a Windows user.

“Buy from the online source to avoid dealing with sales people and avoid supporting the local sales establishments as well as avoid paying sales tax.”

The store is supposed to represent an extention of the main product/corporation… is it not? If Apple (or any other company) can not establish an effective selling experince for their customers, then it’s to the company’s detriment.

The store staff SHOULD be aware that you as a customer have many options when buying product and that they should be jumping with joy that a person choses to spend their time and money with them.

FWIW – I’ve walked into the Apple store here in Houston and had great experiences with asking questions and interacting with the sales people. Even though I didn’t buy anything, I walked out with a positive experience.
