*LOLs furiosly*
that's the best thing i've seen all week
Ponder for a moment the predecessor to the Apple Store, CompUSA, and what that experience was like versus the new bar for customer service being set by Apple.
but really i think this is the pivotal sentence for me
― mr peabody (moonship journey to baja), Saturday, 27 August 2011 19:24 (twelve years ago) link
what i am getting at is that in general, people can tell the difference between an article on lee iacocca and an article on john galliano, an article on jay z and an article on warren buffet. i think that steve jobs sort of muddles all of those parts together, and what disturbs me is the uncritical celebration of all of them equally, as if they're all the same thing.
― mr peabody (moonship journey to baja), Saturday, 27 August 2011 19:25 (twelve years ago) link
the worst part about that sentence is that it is terribly written

i don't think there's an equivalency happening, the suggestion in these let's-call-them obits is that he was an impressive polymath.

the worst part of that sentence is the idea that america has become the world leader in "customer service"
― mr peabody (moonship journey to baja), Saturday, 27 August 2011 20:22 (twelve years ago) link
how do you export customer service, i ask you
― mr peabody (moonship journey to baja), Saturday, 27 August 2011 20:23 (twelve years ago) link
how is a predecessor an experience? why is an experience being compared to "[a] new bar of customer service"? why is that bar "being set" instead of having just been "set" already? how does anyone use the word "ponder," ever, and still take themselves seriously as a person that uses words*? i ask you.

At CompUSA I picked up something I wanted, carried it to the register, paid and walked out.
At an Apple Store, I fight for space with a crowd of yuppies and yuppie-children, try to flag down a lackey for service, evade them trying to sell me anything, tell them what I want, wait for them to go find one, then wait for them to make their handheld register work and finally get to pay and leave.
Fuck Apple Stores, IMO.

Sounds like your Apple Store sucks, man.
I usually walk over directly to what I need, some drone asks if I need something, and I yell "SCAN THIS HERE'S MY CARD MY EMAIL IS (my email) THANK YOU SIR!"

if you pay for Spotify, you don't get ads
is there a free option for Apple Match? doesn't appear to be

Probably got the tone wrong, I was going for a "rushing my request out in a monotone before my agoraphobia kicks in due to the hundreds of families around the store." I'm a corporate drone in a cubicle, but Apple Store employees get to buzz around. No classism.
Btw I prefer "major dicknose" as a title

I was going for more aspie and less hardman but the absence of affect always makes it hard to differentiate.
I kind of think the Apple Store is actually designed to be counter-intuitive and disruptive to aspie hardmen to keep them away! It's a feature.
― unwarranted display names of ilx (mh), Tuesday, 30 August 2011 14:32 (twelve years ago) link
at times it is also designed to be counterproductive to actually making a purchase, unless of course I'm just experiencing SWB (Shopping While Black)
yes I'm still annoyed that the last time I went in to check out microphones, three Apple shits stood around playing dubstep at each other off the display iPhone dock clock radios and ignored me

last time I went into an apple store the genius tried to hardman me into believing that a bulging battery was a 'design feature' and that apple batteries were 'designed' to make the trackpad unusable
