I seriously sometimes have to drive across the bridge to get half decent service.

Today at 11:45 I walked in and signed up on the standby list for - get this - new headphones for my iphone. Apparently, a "genius" needs to determine if headphones are broken. I thought it would be as simple as plugging them and giving them a listen.

So I was told the wait time was about 15min before I would be helped. So I ran and got a slice of pizza. I came back and waited until 1:15. Yes, I waited an hour and a half for a "genius" to look at my headphones. There was still one person in front of me in line who had been waiting 78 minutes when I arrived, and about 168 minutes when I left. BTW, I left before anyone got to me. I saw a lot of people leaving upset by that rude fat red head.

WOW, Apple Store Emeryville, you really do have great customer service. Glad I live in the ghetto. Anyways, you guys really do suck, and I do mean that.

How is it Apple's fault you parked illegally?

I stayed in Emeryville the last two weeks. I was working out of San Leandro while I was there. I actually liked Emeryville. The Elephant Bar near the Apple Store was a nice little hang out.

I second the make an appointment. The Genius' are actually pretty good at keeping to the time. I usually get in and out without a hitch.

You could try the Apple store in Walnut Creek... they generally have decent service, although I've always made appointments ahead of time. Also parking there is a bitch. At least emeryville has those massive garages...

Is a cool little city? What the hell would you know? Katy, TX = population of 11,775.

You need to calm down. Either that or I say this thread should be sent to the wasteland.

I got laid in Emeryville, so I give it my seal of approval.

I agree that Emeryville sucks, on the premise that "Emeryville" is a dumb name for a place.
