An Apple Store Story

Adario Strange sends us this chilling tale of those punk rock Apple store hipsters not knowing their bettor :

So I ’m geeked to go buy a mark young Apple 23 - inch display on a sunny New York Friday , on my way to the Apple Soho store . I get into and wander around reckon for one of the aloof Apple drones to lour themselves to take my money . Finally I snag one and I ’m give a identity card with some piece of writing and assure to stand and look for the whole at the cash register . As I take the air up , I come upon some Apple customer dissing in progress . Some sure-enough dude was walking up to the cash register with his leverage and was stiff armed by the cashier who said the most hated speech in all of consumerdom , “ Sorry sir , this gentleman ( usually some hapless schlep ) was here before you . ”

Even from behind I could tell the honest-to-goodness fellow was spend a penny , but he backed away wordlessly … reek . It was at this point that I take off studying this guy cable ’s rather singular noggin social organisation , finely combed grey haircloth , and spiffy dress . Holy hummer , yep , “ 60 Minutes ” anchor Ed Bradley is an Apple rabid ! He patiently wait his turn , bought his stuff ( an adapter ? vacuous compact disk ? ) , and as he turn to will I genuflected dutifully and say , “ Yes , you are ‘ the ’ man Ed Bradley ” ( boy , do I have witty things to say off the cuff ) with a big tall mallow grinning on my face , which was thankfully contact with a fuck eye blink from the master of television investigative reports . I walk up for my turn , and the really cute , but really clueless cashier is still looking at his back like he ’s an ass . I go , “ Yeah , that ’s Ed Bradley . ” She says,”Who ’s that ? ” I say , “ Uhhh , one of the most noted journalists on the planet on the most famous new broadcast in the domain — ’ 60 Minutes ' ” The brainpower sawbones extend , “ Oh , I do n’t watch television receiver . He did seem upset though … whatever … ” And here I thought Steve Jobs hired citizenry with brains . Think dissimilar indeed !
