Apple Store Security - Launch Day

[jrswizzle]

Three years ago when the four was released I was 8th in line at the apple store, but wound up missing out because they wouldn’t let me in with my scale. I know I’m not the only one who weighs there new phone before buying it(to make sure the Chinese didn’t forget to install any parts). Has this policy changed or am I better off at a Carrier location?

Yet another amazing morecowbell post....

LOL.

Bravo! Seriously, keep these coming. They always brighten my day.

You have got to be serious? Really appreciated the chuckle! This is way to good to be true!

How would you know what it is surposed to weigh?

This is a new one for me.

These introductions bring these people out of the woodwork!

3.95 ounces according to the website. Anything less = Not acceptable!!!

See, now I've got to look through your post history to find other funny crazy quirks you have

Edit: Here's a good one started by the OP https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1445112/

What not to do...when your Iphone Arrives.
Just don't do what I did last time...

When the 4s came, I was so excited for the phone. I wanted to use it all day. But I knew my parents would be all over like they usually are...just nagging...nagging...nagging...

-Take out the garbage
-Take a shower
-Sweep the garage
-Clean your room
-Get a job...

I knew it they'd drive me crazy while I was playing with my sweet deliciousness. So...I came up with what I thought was an ingenious plan...

I put half a bottle of Visine into a Poland Spring bottle and drank it, hoping that i'd be stuck with Diahrea...that my parents could both smell and hear...and they wouldn't nag me for sitting around and playing with my phone.

Long story short...I wound up in the hospital for 3 days with severe dehyradration and a partially lacerated colon...and the Irony is...you aren't allowed to turn on a cell phone in the hospital because of sensitive medical equipment.

Let this be a lesson to ya'all.

My eyes have been opened. Do you work for Apple? Cause you're a genius.

If I were in the store I would hope that security stop you at the door.

I am sorry but hate crowds in the first place and . . . . .

No sir. I work at Arby's. I've applied to 3 Apple Stores, but no response.

Another Gem from morecowbell

FRIDAY!!! Can't Wait!!! Questions...
So, I am upgrading from the 5 to the 5s since my 5 was destroyed last week when I dropped it into the deep fryer by accident(I work at Arby’s). I have a couple of questions.

1) Since I am borrowing about $300 from my one of my regular customers, will they let me put the $300 towards the purchase and the rest on the credit card? I got a $400 credit line increase and I paid my 46 dollar minimum payment so I should have enough to buy it
2) I need to be at Arby’s by 11:30 on Friday…If I camp out starting Wednesday Night will I get out of the store in time to get to Arby’s by 11:30? It is a one hour drive. If I am late one more time Phillip says I have Mop Duty for a month.
3) Is anybody interested in buying my old phone for parts? The both the home button and headphone jack are not melted and I think they work.

Can’t wait for 5s!!! YAY!!!

You got some serious issues.

 

[Umbrarian]

Which reminds me, can anyone tell me the correct mass in grams for the 5S?

This is my new all time favorite thread. Thanks morecowbell

I wouldn't worry about it at an Apple store, but a Walmart, that is a different story

I'm at work right now in tears trying to hold in my laugh. Thank you OP, I really needed that laugh today.

 

[joneill55]

either troll or a new level of ocd that no forum has ever seen.

Wow, I thought the "my phone is scratched by the case" clan were totally bum-F*&K OCD crazy. This guy takes the cake!

I read this and thought you were a drug dealer or something who carries a scale with them. That would've made more sense. Then I continued and saw you are instead either a troll, or a very paranoid human being.

No sir. I work at Arby's. I've applied to 3 Apple Stores, but no response.

I also work at Arby's. I really hope I don't know you..
