Why The Apple Store SUCKS !!!
I now hate Apple and anything to do with Apple .
You might ask why ? And here's my story.
I have been trying to purchase a few Apple iphones for me and my employees for the past 5 weeks . Being that I live in Manhattan , I pass by Apples flagship store on 5th avenue everyday and for the past few weeks its the same story , sold out , none in stock , or we only have the 8 gig in , but I want the newer 16 gig ones .
So imagine my surprise when I walk in today ,store was packed as usual , I ask the first salesman I see if they got any iphones in yet , he says yes , then I ask if there the 16 gig models , and he says yes , but tells me to hurry as there going quick .
I go over to the line to pick them up and pay , and its long , so I wait about an hour and finally get to the front . The person working the front of the line tells me I'm next and to go to the Credit card line / I tell him , no I'm going to pay cash , and imagine my shock when I get the response , WE DONT ACCEPT CASH . I asked him WHAT and he repeats that they do not take cash for iphones .
Now I'm fucking fuming , it would take me an hour to go home and come back with a credit card as I did not have one on me , and by that time they would be sold out . I asked if he could put a few on the side for me , and another no . Realizing that it was not his fault , but apples , I didn't want to curse him out ,
But what The Fuck , Who on earth does not accept cash . I can go to Iraq and spend American dollars , but a store in the middle of New York , The most famous shopping strip in the world 5th Avenue , does not take Cash .
Apple you disappointed me , I know it wont hurt you but I no longer will purchase my Iphones , Think ill see what smart phones verizon has .

And why, pray tell, would you leave the house without your credit card? My credit cards are in my wallet at all times.
I'm guessing you've never been to the Apple Store.
Why should i be force to use a credit card / when i would rather use cash .
