Chicago's Michigan Ave. Apple store had quite a few of them. I picked up a 16GB Touch and then cancelled my online pre-order from one of their display Macbook Pros.
I called ahead and they told me they only had the 16GB version, but the clerk asked me whether I was looking for an 8GB or 16GB version when I asked at the counter. I hypothesize three different scenarios.
Scenario 1 (49% chance of accuracy based on past Apple Store experience)
Me: "I'll take an 8GB."
Clerk: "Sorry, we only have the 16GB."
Scenario 2 (49% chance of accuracy based on past Apple Store experience)
Me: "I'll take an 8GB"
Clerk: "Here you go. Gimme money."
Scenario 3 (2% chance of accuracy based on past Apple Store experience)
Me: "I'll take an 8GB
Clerk: (Says nothing, lunges over the counter with a portable credit card reader in his hand and murder in his eyes)
Nice update, I was wondering what the situation was in IL. Considering, the only post from the chicagoland area was from the Woodfield store.
Well hopefully shipments stay steady for me on the 28th (payday)
