It took awhile for someone to be available to check me out.
I don't like having to learn a new way of doing things, it actually cost me time trying to figure their process out. Not cool.
I really just wanted to say:
iTunes sucks
the rubber parts on their products suck
the presentation thing was really ghey
That is all.

If you are buying hardware I can guarantee you it's faster to tell someone what you want and pay that person when they bring it out to you than to find it yourself and stand on a checkout line.
My last few purchases took under 5 minutes and I never stepped more than 5 feet inside the store.
Everything in the retail locations is thought out and done on purpose.
Considering Apple are ridiculously successful in a channel that every manufacturer before them failed miserably I think Apple got it right.
