People I could do without: Apple store employees



General rule of thumb: any store that refers to the section where salespeople stand as the “Genius Bar” better have some fucking smart people working behind there. Like Stephen Hawking. Or Bill Gates. Not Seth, a Jewish, upper-middle class philosophy major who drives a Honda. (side note: I would bet Plummer’s first child that the douche in this picture is named Seth. Or Eli.) Look at Best Buy and their “Geek Squad” department. Now this is the dude I want working on my computer:



Listen, Apple store employees, you think you are Allah’s gift to consumers because you know how to work an iPod? Look around. That’s an Orange Julius across from you. You work in a fucking mall. Stop treating me like I don’t know how to use the Internet. These people are so utterly condescending that it makes me wish the iPod was never invented. That’s right, I’d gladly have a Zune if it meant I didn’t have to go into your store anymore.

One thing I hate is salespeople coming up to you in a store when you don’t want them to. It’s even worse in the Apple store, because there are 59 goddamn employees working at a given time. Whenever I’ve been in there I just want to turn and say “Listen, Thom, to be honest, I’m just really stoned and want to play with shit.” Apple store people, and MacNation as a whole, act as if you are breathing less potent air if you don’t have a Mac (“they don’t get viruses, you know”) and if you recently make the switch, they act like you have just recently began to see in color instead of black and white.

Also, how can you have the dude who played a cheerleader in Dodgeball as your spokesman? What a pussy. The PC guy from those commercials was in porn in the 80’s. Look it up.
