iPad If you did personal pickup, did you have to wait long at the store?

nope, i got there 10 minutes before the store opened...there were only like 10 people in line, split between walk-ins and already paid. took about 2 minutes total.
one note, they did not have any 128gb models for walk-ins

I hope they didn't send "pick-up" notices for that model to those people who ordered it.
They didn't have any iPad air 64gb verizon pickup at both apple stores I checked (Aork business trip to augusta GA today and Altamonte Springs Florida). They do have iPad verizon 64gb at Mall of millennia and Florida mall but I am too lazy to drive 30-40 min there while Altamonte is 10 min from my house in Orlando area on the north side. Augusta Apple store 10 min from my business meeting.
I just did regular shipping to my home and it should be there November 4th. I can wait.

Very slow. Nobody else was in the pickup line, but it still took about 10 minutes to get in and about 10 more minutes for them to bring the thing out from the back.
if you ordered the 128gb online for pickup, they had it....but if you just walked up to the store and wanted one, you didn't. they advised people that wanted one to order it online right there and wait about 2 hours for them to get the confirmation email, then come back
seemed kind of crazy
Got there around 4 o'clock today. It was packed, but for various things NOT just for the iPad. I used to work at a Best Buy and that happened during any major Apple release. It draws this hype around technology and gadgets in general and it gets busy on release for all the product categories. Talk about a hype machine...
But anyway, I was in and out within 10 minutes. They had a VERY short queue of people waiting for in-store pick-up. Literally there was 2 of us. Then the employee helped me look at Smart Covers for a minute while someone brought out the iPad. Very quick.

No waiting going in around noon. In and out in about 15 minutes since I wanted help getting mine set up (first iPad).
Went to the local Tmobile store around 5PM and walked out with a slate 16gb. Sales rep told me the only got 2 16gbs in today & the other sold about 5 min before me.
I went in at lunchtime so there was a wait of about 10 minutes in line. There were two lines, one for walk-ins and one for pick-ups. They were taking five pick-up customers for every walk-in customer (Genius told me in advance and I watched and they did). Pick-up customers were taken from line two at a time to keep things moving quickly. There were about 10 people in front of me.
It was about 20 minutes from when I arrived to when I walked out with and iPad Air.
