The Apple Store is nothing like that. You go in to buy, but the person that says hello can't sell you anything. Instead you must wait 5+ minutes for someone to come by and allow you to purchase. No drinks are provided.

This person is not that knowledgeable about the product. And can't answer any detailed questions. If you want a Mac mini you'll have to insist that it does in fact exist.

Also your product will not be bespoke. For that you must order online. Only plane vanilla is allowed to be sold at the stores - so no extra RAM or disk space for you.

If you would like someone to help you learn your new machine you can come back next week for an "appointment". This appointment is used in the doctor sense where it's actually expected you'll wait another 10-15 minutes until you see someone who can help.

Every time I go it's an excercise in frustration. But I'm impatient and want it now.
