Store Pickup vs. Waiting in line

[TWO2SEVEN]

I decided to go ahead and upgrade today. I got to my local store around 11:25, they open at 12. The line was probably about 75 people long. While waiting in line is used the Apple Store App to order a 64gb 6 in white for in store pickup. I went home to eat lunch and watch football. Around 1:00 I got the email that it was ready to pick up. There was no line for pick up, but still a line of about thirty walk in customers. After I checked out I saw a guy who was about 20 ahead of me in the morning line just getting to talk to some one.

TL, DR: order online for store pickup instead of waiting in line.

Went for a pick up sat morn, line of sbout 30 people, so I ask them in line if this was the pick up line, and they said no and I went to the front of the line with my paperwork and they let me right in
10 minutes later I was walking out with the phone

A lot of people in the other line looked unhappy

Yeah, I have no idea WTF takes them so long to get through people.

Those using NEXT (and presumably EDGE) are unable to order online. It's terrible.

Considering there's no stock of the 6+ anywhere in Northern California according to Apple.com, has anyone been able to get one by standing in line first thing in the AM?
