iPad Pro Share the results of your retail store Apple Pencil stock check

Just got out of work, heading over to university in Fort Worth. I'm scared they're gone. Ahh

Got mine at University Park in Ft. Worth! There were only two left. As I was leaving two people were around the pencils, the might be gone by now.
 
I contacted Apple to ask them what I did wrong when ordering my pencil because I read an article showing over 30 stores were selling the pencil in store while mine hadn’t shipped.

The customer service person assured me online orders always ship first, before inventory is sent to retail stores…

I was at Mayfair store everyday since Monday. They told me they were out of both pencils and keyboards. I was there today at 11:30 am. I hoped to pick up at least the keyboard... Also yeah Apple employees seemed very annoyed and aggressive.

They only got two keyboards yesterday (no Pencils... again), which they told me over the phone. When I got to the store and asked for one, this fat lady, who was buying an iPad Pro Smart Cover, got unreasonably upset. She started breathing heavily, got red-faced, and started swearing at the nice lady ringing her up. "You told me you didn't have any Smart Keyboards!" She pointed at me and said, "And HE better not get the last one! What the hell is wrong with you people?!"

The employees, who legitimately didn't know they had any stock, huddled together in a confused sort of way, radioing the back for clarification. When they told us that they had two of them, the fat woman DEMANDED that they ring her up before me.

Of course, this type of reaction is well outside the norm, but these shortages are getting on people's nerves. In my 15 minutes in the store, I overheard at least one person passing on an iPad Pro because they didn't have the Keyboard in stock. I'm sure that happens multiple times each day. Frankly, I'm surprised the stock wasn't there since day one, especially when they've marketed the Pro heavily with the Keyboard and Pencil.
 
Bought my Pencil in Dallas at Knox St Apple Store today at 2:30 p.m. I called around 1:30 p.m. They would not confirm stock, but they encouraged me to come to the store.

London was completely out today. If you were willing to drive out though, Lakeside and Bluewater had very limited stock.

Also, lack of stock is completely BS. Isn't the Pencil a major draw for the iPad Pro? Can't believe Apple dropped the ball on this.
 
Monterey, CA had some this afternoon:

She was fat. Like really, really fat. And ugly too. Did I mention that?

Considering the way she treated me and everyone else around her, I have no problem being an ass.
 
town square, las vegas missed by an hour and a half the sales rep told me they were getting stock daily ! anyone in vegas can pick up two (one for me, one for my brother) i would be willing to pick one up for a fellow mac user when i find them. pm me
 
Left Arden Fair Mall around 1:30pm nothing in stock and Roseville Galleria just prior had not received an as of today, Arden yesterday had 30 and sold out very fast. Some of the staff seemed very knowledgable and helpful some had no clue.

I want to say thanks to
Bad.Hat.Harry
for contacting me with a extra Pencil. He just made my day and will make my next 4-6 weeks of training go by a little smoother.
Im looking forward to using this not only for pleasure but also my training. They give us a Microsoft surface but I'm looking forward to using my pro and pencil.

Good luck everyone it really does look as if it is very random not only on the store but how many each store is receiving.
