Maybe I'm just not a "people person"
This weekend we went clothes shopping for Ron this weekend and miracle of miracles, we found clothes that look good and fit! Hooray!
We also went to the Apple Store in Chestnut Hill. The mall itself was D-E-A-D dead, but the Apple store was hopping! It was more than a little intimidating, especially with someone jumping all over us asking if we had any questions every 3 seconds. Maybe it's just me, but overzealous salepeople drive me nuts. Let me get my bearings and look at all the shiny toys... I see you over there with your store badges on and don't you worry your pretty little head off, I'll find you when I need you.
And I'm not even sure if I really NEED a Mac just yet... if at all. Yeah, sure, they're pretty and I want one, I really, really want one, but do I NEED one? I will need a laptop at some point, but it is still up in the air which one it is going to be.
We also went to Best Buy to pick up a card reader and Ron drooled over a new Palm he has been eyeing. The sales people were pushy here too, but I got the feeling it was more to let us know they were there and they were watching us so we better not steal anything. The difference between Best Buy and the Apple Store was the Apple Store felt like a car dealership on crack while the Best Buy felt like a car dealership run by high school kids. Neither is condusive to shopping.
I think I may stick to shopping online for anything but clothing.

That Apple store is insane, I did all my research online walked in and said this is what I want, gimme it! But I did not make it two feet in the store before 3 different sales clerks approached me like vultures on a carcas. I just said I know what I want and here is my list of items to go with the Mac. They had that sad look on their face when they could not show me how well they learned their scripts. Poor little sales people.
