Try on appointments? It's a ****ing Brooks Brothers suit, not a Rolex Sub-Mariner.

I'm surprised Apple isn't asking people to bathe and put on clean clothes. The sales clerks and other shoppers don't enjoy being around people who stink like onions or wet potatoes.
No sir.
You are wrong.
The linedancers dance lines because it's fun to linedance.
But the apple employees don't high-five you because because it's fun but because they are so happy you will give them money. If you look closely you can see little dollar signs in their eyes.

1) I'm not a "sir". Not everyone here is male so you are better off skipping the "sir"s or "bro"s or "dudes" unless you are very sure who you are talking to.
2) We weren't talking about whether the employees are having fun. We were discussing why people who go to first day events are excited and having fun.

I don't understand why crowd control is such a controversial subject for some people. It's kind of hard to try on a watch when it's strapped to a table to prevent stealing and it would be impossible to keep track of a bunch of loose watches with a crowd around them all trying them on. How long do you think those watches would stay in the store? Lol, Rolex Sub Mariner. Men sure have a chubby for those old fart watches.
I love Minnesota. Grew up here, lived in Louisiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Maryland a few years for work and moved right back to MN to start my freelance business. But then, I'm not a wuss about a little cold weather. MN is an awesome state to live in. Great schools, reasonable prices for housing, excellent and abundant medical services, great people, great place for all the arts, pretty good sports teams if you like that sort of thing, many great companies to work for, diverse communities that mostly get along with each other. Other than a little weather to deal with, it's an excellent place to live.
Hey, if you like those huge, gaudy watches more power to you. That's probably why you don't like the Apple Watch. It's not conspicuous enough.
Yeah, I hear Winter is the nicest 11 months of the year.
Regardless, I invite you to read the original post to which I responded for a little context for my (admittedly snarky) original comment, and then please give me more information about MN's great schools and all the arts.
Did you know water skiing and roller blading were invented in MN? Not things you would do in the winter. 11 months of winter, huh? Nice myth. Don't know if it's still true but at times MN had the most performing arts venues per capita than any other state. I think now it's the most theater seats outside of NYC. And MN schools and graduation rates are always in the top 5 in the USA. It was convenient that I lived in MN when I wanted to get a chemical engineering degree because at the time, the U of MN had the second best Chem E school in the country, behind only MIT. I just looked it up and now it's the 5th best behind MIT, UCal Berkely, California InstofTech, and Stanford. Slipped a little but very good company and not that far apart in ranks. Our medical schools also score very high, not to mention having the Mayo Clinic here. We are also consistently ranked high in quality of life, most literate, health of citizens, and other categories. If you care, the Advocate called Minneapolis the most gay-friendly city (take that San Francisco!) and the best for interracial couples. Any more MN trivia you need?
My reaction to your post was a result of countless other posts by guys saying "AppleWatch is crap vs 'insert any old-school super expensive single function watch here'". Posts made apparently as an opportunity to brag about the super expensive single function watch that person owns. It's tedious to read those posts because they don't actually add value to the discussion, IMO. I don't know why you would compare a $600 watch with a multi-thousand dollar watch (unless the discussion is limited to just the Edition version of the watch which virtually no one here really cares about.). Being a practical gal, I'll spend $600 for several years use of an iPhone accessory vs thousands for a watch that only tells the time and makes other people think I'm a show off trying too hard to impress them.
Seems a little too overly protesty/defensive/garrulous to me but whatevs
What's the largest lake crossing state lines, and who was the first to swim across it?
I assume, to freedom.
I don't know why you're giving MN a hard time. How different is it really from Toronto? If anything, you are probably colder. You do have a better healthcare coverage system but that's not this voter's doing
Unless you are a frenchie we probably even have the same accent. Eh?I don't know why you're giving MN a hard time. How different is it really from Toronto? If anything, you are probably colder. You do have a better healthcare coverage system but that's not this voter's doing
Sick burn.
No, our accent is noticeably worse as soon as you get out of the actual city.
Gratz on voting against healthcare I guess?
Just so I'm not misunderstood. I like "Obamacare" but universal healthcare like Canada has would have been better. My comment referred to me not voting for the people who forced us to settle for less than universal (the GOP).
Got my order in. A summary, for those who might be wondering how it went:
Space Gray Aluminum 42mm with black sport band and apple care.
Unfortunately, it took 10 minutes for me to get to the store and by that time delivery is delayed until mid to late May. That's a bummer because I start a week-long road trip the last week in April and would have loved to have had an Apple Watch on my wrist for that.
Inexplicably, in-store pickup was listed as unavailable though my shipping address is 20 minutes from an Apple Store.
I was going to buy a second one--a 42mm stainless steel case with black sport band, but delivery on that model was going to be as late as on the Sport Watch, so I'll just wait.
I scheduled an in-store visit for this morning and will use it to compare weights of the sport and standard watch models, to see if I really prefer the color I've ordered, and to check out alternate bands. I thought it interesting (odd?) that although the store was so tied up with orders, and shipping delays already occurring, I was able to schedule the first-in-the-morning slot for the hands-on experience.
I think the Watch is going to be a very satisfying experience. Fingers crossed.
