Really? They keep telling me they don't have any. I literally just asked them.
Clearly. Ive worked in retail during the holidays and people get super nasty but when you call out someones appearance instead of their behavior you perpetuate a negative prejudice and make a lot of people uncomfortable besides just the person you had an immediate issue with. Its pretty stupid.
It's a descriptor. I'm freakishly tall at 6-foot-seven. I would have no problem with someone saying "there was this weirdly tall guy buying a Keyboard." People are waaaay too sensitive nowadays. And by the way, I only said the ugly thing to get a rise out of you. Couldn't resist.
Anyway, just checked all three Apple Stores in Wisconsin and no stock.
It was clearly meant as a derogoatory comment but fine, ill let you pretend other peoples sensitivity is the problem
Sent Tim an email about the bad Apple Retail Store experiences during my Apple Pencil hunt last Sunday and received this from one of the store today...Honestly it's a little bit disappointed to see store manager decided to show goodwill in this way and I didn't take the offer since I already got mine yesterday.

One of the store in the south bay area. Preferred not to disclose the store since that may cause extra complications....Where is this?
Thanks
This is something I don't get... How do they get "multiple shipments per day?" UPS/FedEx doesn't usually go to the same business/home multiple times per day...
It must've been much earlier in the day. I assumed you meant you had literally just received it.
I was at Knox at 3pm, you must have gotten the last one. Went to North Park and they were in the process of putting them out on the shelf when I arrived. Snagged one and cancelled by on line order.
There are currently 7 Pencils on the shelf of the OKC store. Disregard the person up front who will tell you otherwise.
I'm sorry I caused you an extra stop, but I'm glad you found one! It's completely worth it!
You're welcome! I didn't want to just return it to the store and I love that I was able to help out a fellow MR member. Let us know how it works out for you.
If it makes you feel better you're missing out on some early adopter issues with 3rd party software and their implementations of the predictive touch API which is causing pressure sensitivity errors (erroneous thick start of stroke).
I'd say it's quite impressive, but the software is in emergency catch up mode right now if you venture outside Notes. A different example is that Sketchbook has implemented pressure sensitivity, but has no way to disable all the old speed-based brush dynamics for touch painting, which makes it mostly unusable.
I tried the store at West County Center in Des Peres, MO today. They acted like I was crazy thinking they might have any.
I will make the venture to the Apple store nearest to me tomorrow, and hopefully they will have them. I'll call and see what happens. It would be nice to not have 2 Apple stores in the same small valley, but one in each valley.... (and not 40 Miles away.) lol

I got the same ******** attitude when I stopped in today, as if it's our fault Apple jacked this all up.
I went into my local Apple Store in London Ontario Canada this morning about 40 minutes after they opened. They had just received three Apple Pencils and Smart Keyboards. I picked up one of each. I'm really liking the feel of the keyboard.
