I really enjoy reading other people’s experiences visiting an Apple store–but you gotta start out neutral. Ron Miller on Daniweb.com writes that he visited before attending a nearby conference, and admits, “I had set the expectations bar a little high.” It was nearly 100 degrees out, and the air conditioning was apparently taxed. He toured the store, had difficulty getting someone’s attention, he says, and wedged in to the Genius Bar to test a Genius with a test question. “He seemed put off and said if I made it quick.” Then on the way out, “I commented to the kid at the door that for all the money Apple had spent on the store, it might have invested in a decent air conditioner.” Yikes! He calls the person a “kid,” remarks on the cost of the store, and complains about the temperature, all in one sentence. And he makes his remark to someone who has to spend 8 hours in the store suffering the heat. Where’s the sympathy? Well, he admitted he started out with a high bar.
