text: While on vacation my iPad was not recognizing the SIM card so I made an appointment at the Genius Bar at Fashion ShownnI got there on time but absolutely no employee would look at me A de facto line had formed on the side and employees were moving from person to person so I waited patiently until it was my turn Then the lady behind me shoved her way in front of me and I continued to be ignorednnAt this point I was already aggravated so I interrupted an employee who was on his way to helping a customer and begged him to help me or at least get me checked in Another minutes passed now about minutes after my appointment time before some emo Apple Store employee with gauges in his ears came to help mennAfter examining my iPad he informed me that it would cost to fix it because it was weeks out of warranty I let out an expletive then immediately apologized for my language but I was still quite perturbed He told me Electronics are just like that He then informed me I should sell my iPad as a WiFionly device and use the money to buy a new one My reaction Are you kidding me I am never buying another Apple product againnnAt this point I defiantly pulled out my Samsung Galaxy S to document my experience for all people who follow me on social media sites He rushed off to find a manager as I angrily yet easily typed away due to the beauty of Swype A few minutes later he reappeared and said that his manager agreed to replace my iPad for free since it was obvious that it was well cared for with no hint of water damage true and they did not want me to have a bad impression of Apple Sounds nice right However he was going to to try just one more thing to try to fix the problemnnWell after about five minuteswould not you knowmy iPad was magically repaired Shady AF I am sure many of you reading this think I am a huge biznatch and should just gratefully bow down at the Steve Jobs altar but that actually ticked me off even more First of all why did not he try that in the first place Second if I had been really passive as believe it or not I often am and accepted his initial diagnosis I would have paid for a twogeneration old iPadnnMy experience here reinforced a sad yet true reality of todays world sometimes to get the best service you have to be an ahole
