Just so I am clear - is the store opening at 9? Or are they getting a shipment at 9 but still opening at 10?
Are you for real? Every store has different hours. Some in California open at 9am.
14th St is opening at the normal time, but says they start answering the phone at 8, and suggest calling then.
I think they are people who take morning walks inside of the mall. I saw this when I was at a store this morning, I was thinking wtf are these people walking in here for.
did you call the towson town center?
I might just go there early and check it out... i dont have class til 930, so it wont hurt!
He didn't specify. It was a bit ambiguous. It seems they may be selling iPads at 9am. Otherwise, I think he would've just said 10am, or so I would think.
Well, my grandmother, for instance, can't be outside when it's really cold in the winter because it's hard for her to breathe.
Anyways, back to the topic...
zama36...you definitely aren't lying about weather here in Seattle!!
Have you gotten any word about stores in the Puget Sound area? I can't get any word from them at all about potential stock! The Bellevue store even told me that it could be a month or so before they get more stock in haha...my guess is they've been getting so many calls about the iPad that the employee stopped caring about her response lol

Both stores in the Sacramento area (Arden and Roseville) are opening early, but Arden said it's "unlikely" they will have iPads and Roseville said it's "possible" but they may not know until 10 am.
I thought those were very odd answers. I decided I'm not taking two hours out of my busy work day based on this. They very well could have instituted an "open early regardless" policy with no idea whether they'd have anything to sell. Screw that. I've got one on order that delivers in four weeks or less and I'm just going to cool my heals and find some patience. Four weeks will go faster than I think.
In other words, I've found sanity (though I will still be checking stock status at my local Best Buy from time to time).

Try not being so ignorant. Elderly people have difficulty walking in bad weather and on uneven surfaces. So they walk inside a mall where they are protected from the weather, can rest on benches, use the bathroom, etc. you sound really narrow-minded.
Haha good for you for finding the sanity in your life. I'm stuck to Roseville and that must be the smallest apple store in the US. So I will probably have the best luck at BB since I am guessing that apple will give priority to the larger stores.
It's just that living in a real city I'm not used to the bizarre practices of suburbia. I still find it baffling that some Apple stores are located in malls. I've certainly never been to one of them, and I've been to at least a dozen Apple stores.
