by the sound of the way everything else has been going, it sure does look like this is the plan!
@David G, I fully intend to make the AT&T employee wear gloves. Will I look like an idiot? Possibly, but I'll be damned if they're gonna touch their hands all over my new iPhone.
HAHA! This is the funniest thread i have seen all day! You don't know how much i was laughing
The employee is too late because the Apple manufacturers already pooped on it.
So the ATT employes are licking someone else's butt.
*note to self: don't date anyone that used to work for ATT in 2008.
I know, I haven't laughed this much/hard since I watched the Soup Nazi episode of Seinfeld.
Edit
7) Ask for cash or visa so they can charge you allot
8) hopefully there is only 10 per store..so its fast that way they can go back to selling razrs for $49 dollars (thats right...original for $49 on three year term)
9) take iPhone poster/signs/stand down
10) pretend it never cam out
Not cool!!
I dont like this process. When I buy any new product, I like to open it up in the privacy of my home and enjoy taking it out of the box myself. I want to enjoy the unboxing process. Now with this process this wont be possible
I am going to insist that I open the box and take the phone out myself. I will make the Appple employee wear gloves!! I will try and get pics of this lol.
What does evey one else think, am I crazy? lol

you are not crazy at all... birds and iphones often reject young when touched directly by human hands.... i think gloves are the only real way to ensure that your iphone won't reject you.
On a serious note, why can't I hold out the iPhone and they insert the dock connector??? It seems that's all they have to do in terms of touching it...or ask to read the IMEI number.
It can be done without them touching it...they just wanna get a feel for the iPhone cause they know they won't get one until the next day!
I'm just kidding.

Funny... i don't know why but this makes me remember one of those National Geographic which they show how some species are bred under captivity. I mean... they put the male and the female of the specie in a limited space, adjust the temperature and let them bond. I think that they do that with pandas. Well.. and know with iPhones!
I went to my local AT&T store here in Portland, and the guy told me to show up at 7 in the morning, and they will have Red Bull and T-Shirts, and what not.. I'm way too excited!!!!!!

I agree, I'm going to tell the guy that the unboxing is (and it is!) the most fun part of buying a new gadget, whatever it may be (Have you SEEN that new Voodoo Envy 133's packaging?! It's AWESOME!! If they wanted to unbox that for me, I mean, come on...) and I will demand that I be allowed to take the plastic off and open the phone, and take the cheapo plastic transit screen protector off.
That's when the threat is neutralized. (You are attacked by those guys in the iphone 3g commercial with an injection below the ear that knocks you out and you are quickly removed to keep the line moving. This is from one of the "internal memo's" I found floating around
)@Vansouzza:
Good point. Apple Stores' employees have a reputation for understanding consumer enthusiasm... So first, ask nicely, then demand.

This is genius! I'm still laughing! Thanks!
PS: Look at the mother's shaped hands holding the baby in picture number 2. It's so natural and beautiful!...
I'm in tears... he's born!
