Worst experience ever with Apple today. I went to the mall with a friend just nonchalantly to shop and stuff and I had it in my head I was going to buy an iPod Touch today because I've been looking around and been dying to get one. I stop in Radioshack and first off, the guy has no clue about anything so I was pretty annoyed he couldn't help me with specs and stuff. But when all is said and done, I was thinking he was wrong ( he said that only the 16 gb was sold in stores) so I wanted to go to another store.

I went into Circuit City and sure enough, they sold 8gb's. I ask a clerk to get me one and she goes off to the back area to grab one because there were none on display. Like 10 minutes later (no lie), she comes waltzing over telling me they're all out. I was pretty pissed that I sat around waiting for nothing, but nevertheless, I left and went back to Radioshack to see that now that I knew they sold 8gb's in store to see if I could get one there.

I come back, the kid's still telling me it's shipping only. I'm like, 'alright, get me one shipped. screw it.' He goes on his little computer and is like, 'oh, yeah, actually it's in store only.' I'm like, 'i knew it, do you have any in stock?' He goes to check, a few minutes go by, and he comes out empty handed. I'm pretty ticked off by this point because I go and withdraw $500 today ( for this and other stuff ) and I can't even get my hands on a $230 iPod Touch.

So I left there and was about to leave when I saw F.Y.E. I've only gone in there like twice so I didn't know if they sold any equipment like iPod's or anything so I gave it a shot. Turns out they did but had none in stock.

There were other things that were pissing me off like my friend's parents demanding that she come home immediately and stuff but I was primarily pissed off that I have like $300 cash on me and I can't even bribe these people enough to ship me one when they get it in under the table.

So yeah, horrible experience. How can Apple expect to sell this stuff if they don't supply stores? Ridiculous if you ask me.

I would say it's the store's fault. When they are out or are running low, they should be the ones asking Apple for more. I was surprised that you mentioned Circuit City. I, in my entire life, have never experienced any bad service from Circuit City, which is a shame since there are rumors going around that Circuit City will go away within the next few years.

how can you blame apple when you had no dealings with them? it's up to the store to make sure they order more stock and order it in good time.

I never blamed Apple. I just said I had the worst experience with them.

You didn't even have anything to do with the company, you were just buying a product they make.

what is your problem, exactly? you had a problem purchasing an apple product from a non-apple store, but you said you had the "worst experience ever with apple". if you don't make yourself clear, what do you expect? and why do you see the need to react in that way?

****ing bullshit.

you came here to rant. nothing more.

the fact of the matter is, it's the store who's to blame. if you didn't want to deal with them, you would have gone to apple in the first place.

get over yourself.

I won't get into the bashing, but dude - wouldn't you say the most likely place to buy an Apple product is at the Apple Store? At least, if there's a problem there, the company is helping you properly.

Before you jump to crazy conclusions, Aaron, find out who you should be accusing. ^o) And don't even say that you never blamed apple, because you post starts with:
