We decided to buy our daughter an ipad for her birthday. We had no idea it was almost impossible to get one. After calling around for a few days we decided on an apple store that said they get a good amount of ipads delivered every day. Today is her birthday, it was imperative we get one. My son and I got up at 5:00 a.m. and drove 45 minutes to the apple store where they had said if we got there by 7:00, we'd be almost guaranteed to get one. We get there at 6:50 a.m. and were greeted by about 7 asian people who immediately came up to us and said we were 10th on line. Hmmm, I thought 6:50 was early enough but I guess not. Anyway, after awhile, it became apparent that these people were going to buy 2 ipads per person. That means they would walk away with at least 14 ipads which may have been the entire shipment. There were about 3 people behind them when we showed up. I complained immediately upon learning what was about to transpire. Apple people said there was nothing they could do. UGH!!!! After about 1.5 hours of waiting and hoping for the best, the security guards came over and started questioning the "asian" people waiting in line. Apparently, there was trouble with these people before. When the police were called, the lady who told me we were 10th in line disappeared. The 4 still left got as many as they could buy. Fortunately, we were still able to purchase one - whew! I don't mean to be profiling here but every "asian" person waiting in line either got chased away by police or bought 2 each. No one else walked away with 2 ipads each. i was shocked by what happened this morning. I had no idea what was going on. Because of this experience, I googled asians buying ipads and came across this forum. I just wanted to share my experience firsthand. It was an interesting eye opener.
What law did they break where they found it necessary to call the police?
