Congrats for that!

Apply CS is great. A few years ago I ordered online a refurbed Ipod Nano for my wife for a birthday gift. It never came. I called them and the rep tracked it and it showed in transit but no movement for over a week. So he said he'll send me a brand new one (not a refurb) via 2 Day Air. He told me if I receive the other one keep that too. I got the new one in 2 days then like a week later got the refurbed one.

We ordered an $8k server from Dell. They sent us someone else's server by accident and mailed our server to someone else. Called up Dell and and they said to just keep the server and mailed us a new one. That was sweet. Though we never could get support on the mistake server as the serial number wasn't in Dell's system any more and there was no record of it anywhere. Hopefully you don't have a problem like that. :)

Yeah. Apple gives these away free all the time for customers that actually complain.
Yeah right. I didn't read it and don't believe the title anyway.

Apple got me a free upgrade from iPad 2 to iPad Air as well. I don't make this stuff up either.

To OP, awesome thing! You sure are a lucky person! Congratulations on your new iPhone :)

I guess what he showed us is that someone else paid for it, otherwise he wouldn't pay cash.

I worked as a cashier/customer service agent for a major grocery chain for 5 years. Paying something out in cash (exact change) is a common practice when fixing an order on a register. You - the employee - "pay" in exact change to zero out the bill. Then at the end of the night, you make adjustments when balancing the drawer/safe.

On a register, you have a few payment options: cash, debit/credit, check, etc. In this instance, the Apple employee clicked "Cash" two times. Once to tell the machine they were paying cash, and again to indicate exact change.

I believe the OP.

Lol at you comparing a supermarket register to one at an apple store. Not the same options ;)
Also 'fixing' the register like you said is not going to square off the $ left in your money drawer. You will be missing and responsible as a cashier for that missing money. At the end of the day any register has to balance out.

No. Because the manager will adjust it with petty cash. The previous poster was correct. I was a cashier manager when I was in college. A lot of registers do not have an option to adjust the price, and if they do, it will appear to be fraud by the cashier (auditors can go through the register months or years later). So it is set to cash, and adjusted with petty cash.

In the end the expense has to come from somewhere. Managers have petty cash for these kinds of reasons (and other immediate expenses, such as hiring electricians...). The manager will explain the expense in the petty cash ledger, and balance the register with the cash.

Every iPad 2 has a display that ghosts (e.g. after closing Safari, you still see the back button and address bar etc.). It didn't really disturb me all that much, but since none of the two replacement iPads fixed the issue, how should they, Apple offered me a free upgrade to an iPad Air, which also ghosts, but unless the next generation iPad gets a super hyper turbo everything and splittscreen exclusively and desktop apps I wouldn't do it again.

Yeah, this never happened. Companies just don't give away $1000 products. Sorry, not buying it.

You actually told a MR user "get drunk, it's fun", which kinda ruins your credibility imho. Also, you say "lookit that".

And? The fact that you're stalking my posts is just creepy, dude. I didn't tell another MR user to "get drunk, it's fun", I actually responded to an MR user asking why would they get drunk by saying "because it's fun". Get your facts straight fotze. Also, "lookit that" is an homage to my Midwestern US ancestry. That's how they say it. How do they say it where you're from? Sieg Heil?

P.S. Your sig is just a sad cry for help.
