why i hate the apple store - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

BustedS13 · 08-07-2007, 10:46 PM

i saw that new apple keyboard, the super slim one, right? and i recently dumped some tea into my good keyboard, so i'm in the market for one. so i go up to the apple store to see if they have them in stock and see how they feel.
i get there and there aren't any out, so i ask if they have them. the employee tells me they aren't getting their shipment for a couple days, so i ask if he knows if they're compatible with pc's, as i don't own a mac, nor will i ever, hopefully. he says they won't, and then asks me why i don't have a mac. i tell him the truth- i build my own, and i don't need my operating system to coddle me. i have an ipod, because it's a quality device- but i look at macs as tinker toys for adults. regardless, that keyboard sure looks nice.
he proceeds to ask me what i do for video editing, since i can't use imovie or final cut. i tell him i have vegas, and for simple projects i can always use windows movie maker, which works fine. he asks me how i edit photos, since, APPARENTLY, i can't use photoshop. dumbfounded, i tell him that photoshop runs on both mac and pc. he makes some crack about mspaint not being photoshop, i tell him i have cs3, and, moreover, i could put OSX on my pc and run final cut if i actually wanted to. he gives me a "yeah right", tells me the keyboards don't work with pc's, and looks for another customer to misinform.
where do they find these retarded, elitist pricks, and how do they get them to all go out and get goofy haircuts? fucking ridiculous. retail workers never cease to amaze me with their lack of information.

LB.Motoring · 08-07-2007, 10:50 PM

LOL,

anyways. Yes it will work.

BustedS13 · 08-07-2007, 10:54 PM

i'm sure the usb one would, but what about the bluetooth? any reason it wouldn't?

JDMClifford · 08-07-2007, 11:01 PM

they will work.

blackflag_Rms13 · 08-08-2007, 12:30 AM

Meh get over it, he's just doing his job and trying to sell shit. Your comment about macs is probably just as elitist as whatever the dude said...

Farzam · 08-08-2007, 12:34 AM

It's hard as fuck to get a job at the Apple Store...background checks etc.

Apple is a cult.

But yeah, just cause he disagrees with you he's an elitist? Look in the mirror.

We're all elitist fucks.

speedstar01 · 08-08-2007, 07:47 AM

you should have poured some tea down his shirt. yea totally ruin his day

p.s. i hate when retail salesmen just talk to bullshit and are unaware they spew out lies by the minute

You are to busy getting actual work done so you don't have to worry about upgrading/building/rebuilding your PC.

Edgar · 08-08-2007, 08:00 AM

you should have smacked the living dog shit out of him

TheWolf · 08-08-2007, 08:36 AM

I'm a mac and PC user and I find them elitist. I love when for example my emac has a hack online to turn the monitor mirror port into a dual monitor. told me it was impossible to run duals on a emac. $19 later I was running dual monitors. many times they've told me things were impossible. they definitly don't think outside the box but thats the moto. my mac are actually for work. I find it interesting that employees can't screw them up as quickly as a PC and my imac has only restarted due to updates. never a crash in a work enviroment for over a year is so helpfull for me.

*ManoNegra* · 08-08-2007, 09:04 AM

When the new Intel laptops were coming out and various online groups were close to booting XP on it, I stopped by the Apple Store in Northridge to check them out. Similar type of sales dude comes over and asks me some questions. Told him I was still waiting for Adobe to come up with optimized version of their programs and for XP compatibility. He got incensed and swore that would NEVER happen. Less than a month later Apple came out with their own support for XP.
Never take what salespeople tell you at face value.

SimpleSexy180 · 08-08-2007, 10:06 AM

S14TEVE · 08-08-2007, 10:59 AM

all the guys at the apple store at brea mall get on my nerves.. they're all 'indie rock' and fucking dress like fags. i like to go in there and turn the volume up on the sound systems. FUCK THE APPLE STORE.

^^^ the iRack is fuckin funny as hell ^^^

*ManoNegra* · 08-08-2007, 11:07 AM

1) I haven't tried, nor do I imagine seeing myself try to get a job at the apple store.
2) I've been sober for weeks.

Unholy S14 · 08-08-2007, 01:31 PM

hahahahah

im in europe so i havent been sober either.

240trainee · 08-08-2007, 01:32 PM

I like the apple store, but i'm not a computer nerd, nor have I any desire to be.

I plan on picking up a macbook when I can afford it, played with a friend of mines, liked it alot.

ZenkiKid · 08-08-2007, 01:37 PM

did you know youll get kicked out of the apple store for going on myspace? ive seen it happen to a group of these asian teens.

240trainee · 08-08-2007, 01:40 PM

badass, I want to try that, hahahahahahaha.

deolio · 08-08-2007, 01:53 PM

go into one of their stores and press the apple key, alt, control, and 8 at the same time. it inverts the colors and the sales people can never figure out how to fix it. i did it in a mall here and it took them 3 hours to fix it. the people that always work there are always such smug assholes they deserve a little payback. but other than that... i would use a mac over a pc any day.

gatoradee · 08-08-2007, 01:56 PM

^ I will try the apple control alt 8 :lol:

you know i was joking, right dude?

eastcoastS14 · 08-08-2007, 02:58 PM

i was never a big fan of apples til i started taking art classes....now I do think they are way better for art etc....Id save my work that i didnt finish and work on it on my PC at home and I gotta say I like them better....

but yeah as for sale people thats sales people everywhere.....go to a really nice clothing store and they look at you like you cant afford shit and give you an attitude, forgetting the fact that they ONLY WORK THERE but act like its their clothing line....I went to the Lacoste store on Rodeo drive when I was in cali last summer and they had this attitude like why are you asking me questions.....let them think theyre cool and what not, then remind them they work at a store in a mall etc and probably make about $9 an hour

and yeah if you think apple store is bad for getting a job....abercrombie doesnt even have job applications, they have to come up to you and ask if you if youd like a job....then they pay like 8.75

Kn1ves · 08-08-2007, 03:18 PM

I don't know what the Item number is but I've tried and liked this keyboard from Sony

The Computer itself is called the Sony LS1 (Has a mean rumble)

http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/sony/sony...uck-195848.php

The Keyboard folds into itself so it can be protected. Its also wireless.
