_Apple Store Buying Experience

August 6, 2006 at 4:32 am

Over the years I’ve read very positive comments about the Apple Stores but my todays experience wasn’t very pleasant. I already felt that the salesclerk wasn’t in a very good mood when he said “Who is the next?” when I waited in line at the counter. He didn’t greet me and just took the product I handed him. Overall he was very uncharismatic and when I had troubles operating the stupid credit card machine (sorry I have no idea how it is really called) he got very impatient. This thing must have had one of the stupidest user interfaces I’ve every seen. There is a line at the bottom of the screen with a X at the beginning and in my experience this is a sign for putting the signature right there. But no, this is not where you sign, you have to put your signature right over a sentence that is in the middle of the screen. Sorry, but I can’t see the logic in that!
