Further diagnostics--like turning it on--show that the guy is a porn freak. How did we know that? Well the desktop picture was a giveaway for one. A bunch of movies on the desktop with some really disgusting names (and I've been a porn connoisseur for years) were another.

Thank GOD I didn't check that in...everyone handled it with latex gloves after that. Ewwwww.

Ok, ok.... :)

Asswipe #1: Hispanic gentleman comes to the bar with a shattered iPhone screen. VERY broken engleeesh. Try to explain to the guy that his iPhone is damaged and is out of warranty because of the shattered screen. He wants his iPhone replaced for free since he just bought it about a week or so ago. Very apologetic, I say no and explain why and tell him the cost to replace it. He wants to talk to a manager and I comply...the manager backs me up and the customer leaves pissed off and causes a disturbance in the store.

I work ever other day or so and on my next shift--not at the bar, but at the front of the store--the idiot returns! I recognize him and do my usual nice welcome to the store...the bastard speaks to me in FLUENT ENGLISH and says that he wants to buy an iPhone! I handed him off to another specialist and went to the back room and bit through a Mac Pro. ;)

More to come...

For being a Mac Specialist I think I was paid pretty well considering it was a part time job. If I was getting that for full time, I wouldn't have taken it.

The Genii are the most under paid and under appreciated employees that Apple has IMO. The shit they have to put up with on a daily basis from extremely demanding, spoiled, and--in almost 50% of the cases--(honestly) stupid people on the planet is amazing. Since I was behind the bar a lot, I saw a ton of just downright childish behavior. People that, if you encountered them in your day and they treated you that way, you'd drop like a bad habit.

All of the stories I've read here through the years about how badly they might have been treated by a Genius...stand fast in their shoes and tell me that you wouldn't put up with that type of crap if it was reversed--they have to. I'm not condoning crappy customer service, but there are some Genii that have burned out because of too many rude customers--of course there are some that just plain suck, but that's another issue. ;)

It was great. It was actually a second job--I still have a full time job. It was for a few reasons...the money, the discount, the fun...mostly for the discount. ;)

The most fun I think I had working there was working the keynote during the iPhone announcement at Macworld. The energy there could be felt, it was amazing. Almost like a rock concert--matter of fact I thought I saw some fanbois tossing boxers on the stage. :D

Not as much fun anymore...I actually took the job part time to blow off steam from my full time job. It was blast to come to work and talk about Macs and helping people with their problems.

A couple of people here knew this, but I kept it quiet since I didn't want any attention from Apple--perhaps it's not a secret here at all. It was a fun time and I'll miss it, but it's time to move on to other things.

I've done some cool stuff during my time at Apple:
--wondered around the Cupertino campus like a star struck fanboy
--stood face to face with Teh Steve and actually talked to him without getting fired
--worked four Macworlds and got to demo the new goodies at a few
--worked three keynotes--including the iPhone launch

...and of course I was allowed to participate in one of the best run retail operations in the world selling some amazing products.

Now I just need to figure out what I'll do with the gazillions of t-shirts I've acquired over the years. :D
