I needed a new cellphone to replace my memory maxed Iphone 5 and decided on an unlocked 128gb Iphone 6s. Didn't want to wait for delivery so figured I'd go to my nearest apple store to get it in person. I tried calling first to make sure they had it in stock but nobody answers. Then checked on the apple site which told me this store had inventory of the phone... so I drove 1/2 hour from my house to get it.

It's not a particularly big apple store and had about 60-70 customers in it with about 15-20 red-shirted apple reps. I go up to one of them to see about buying the 6s only to be told I'd have to wait 45 minutes to an hour just to talk to someone. Looking around the store it seemed evident there were enough reps to handle what would have been no more than a 5 minute transaction of my handing them a credit card and them handing me a small box.

I know apple makes a decent product, I know they had cache and all that crap... but no way on gods green earth am I going to wait an hour for the apparent privilege of simply talking to one of their sales reps so that I can give them my $800 . The only store in the world I'd wait so long for is perhaps if I found myself in North Korea and needed bread. What kind of a salesperson rationally expects a customer to wait such a period of time? I've been to other apple stores with the same customer/rep ratio and the wait wasn't nearly as long- if, in fact, there was a wait at all. 45 minutes to an hour is simply ridiculous.

Am now the owner of a 128gb Google Pixel. Didn't get it yet, but if I'm going to have to wait I might as well use the time for something with the functionality I need (unlimited photo storage, cutting edge camera & a non-proprietary headphone jack).

Happy Holidays
