Might be related to the store. I have had very good experiences in the Pentagon City store, the Tyson's store, the North Dallas store, the Chicago stores (2), the SF store near Moscone, and the NYNY 5th Ave store.

The employees are rude and have an elitist attitude. Every time. In fact, even today.
I will always buy from Best Buy before an Apple store. There are no cage fights if you want to return something at best buy.
I went in today to buy yet another iPhone 3GS and the punk proceeded to tell me how certain features work on the phone which were wrong. To be nice I said I had heard different and he told me how and I quote "I don't believe you. I don't believe that. That is impossible you're a liar."
At that point I had it. I pulled out my iPhone and proved my point and then made sure everyone around me knew this so called expert knew nothing of the phone and insulted those who questioned him.
Just so happens there is an AT&T store next door. I bought the phone from AT&T. I am considering complaining because it's ridiculous.

Think of it as the sincerest form of flattery. The Microsoft store or whatever it will be called probably pays more so their employees can get more Mac gear.

Microsoft's Business Plan:
"What is Apple doing? -> Copy it."
"Apple isn't doing anything in the space? -> Buy someone that is"
Seems to have worked for them so far I guess.
0 original ideas.
Good job MSFT.

The Microsoft Stealing From Apple: It’s Retail Staff
Microsoft Stores- you know, the one’s that will be next or side to Apple in some locations ; with giant wall-sized screens.

Interestingly Microsoft was hiring “ Answer Bar” staff , but apparently they’re eyes on top Apple Retail store managers.

Microsoft is taking the best elements from the Apple Store, and we just have wait and see for it’s prototype store on this fall.
BTW, sorry about previous posted note with image.
