Checked out the Apple store here in Sydney the other day
One of the dorks guys that works there was telling me that someone actually DIED when the store opened
People were sleeping out because they’re fucked in the head for days before they had the officially opening, so that they could be crushed to death the first ones in there
I don’t get that
There’s nothing in the Apple store that you can’t buy online and get delivered to your door
Maybe that’s just how lazy chicks like me roll
There’s tonnes of other boring shit facts to know about this particular store
* It’s the 215th Apple Store, and the first in the Southern Hemisphere
* It’a one of the biggest stores (although not the biggest, that title goes to Boston) standing three storeys
* The floor is made of marble shipped in from Italy where Apple has its own quarry, and every piece is perfect and flawless
* There are macs for anyone to use to check their email or browse the web
* It’s made from the largest sheets of plate glass in the world at more than 15 meters a piece
One of the things they DO have that we liked was a Kid Apple Camp
For kids on school holidays to learn about Mac computers
Dad and I tried to sneak in but we nearly got arrested they were full
It’s actually a pretty cool looking shop
And Dad gets crazy excited whenever he’s in close proximity to a Mac Store
Kinda like me near a buffet table shoe shop
But the reason I went to check out this one was mainly to see someone face to face about all the problems I’ve been having with my Mac
But apparently to meet with a wanker in person an ‘expert from the genius bar’ you have to have an appointment
Well I didn’t HAVE an appointment
So they gave me the next available slot
Next fucking Wednesday
I’m not smiling anymore
Died, hey…? Even Adam only got exiled from the Garden for taking a bite of temptation…(Didn’t know I was an expert on religious history, did ya’?)
The sheer indulgance of the APPLE building is a clue that we are paying too much for their…glass houses! Holy Shit…I have cast the first stone…
