I tried to get the salesman to knock 20 bucks off the price and leave out both keyboard and mouse, but he said something about policy not allowing that, which is fair enough I thought. So I took it over to the corner after purchasing it and went to remove both, thinking I'd just donate them to the techs in the back as I'm sure someone could put them to use, and putting them on ebay wouldn't be worth the 5 bucks they'd fetch frankly. Two employees actually got in my face, shocked that I would A) open a box of purchased goods like that instore, and B) actually *not* want one of their included peripherals. I tried to explain the situation calmly, but the more I talked the more aggrivated they both got with me, which made no sense then anymore then it does now. Finally I lost my patience, slammed both keyboard and mouse on the desk, informed them loud enough for everyone in earshot (which was everyone at the store by that point, thanks to their already raised voices) that I didn't want their damn cheap crappy parts, and stormed out of there without another word. I've bought a lot of things in my life, but I've never been treated like that before. That they wouldn't want the 'free' peripherals anymore then I did was nuts, but that it would actually upset them to the point of shouting at me is just bat-shit insane. Long story short, the manager called me an hour later, appologized and even gave me a half off deal on a wireless keyboard and mouse set from logitech, which I appreciated. I'm still shocked more then anything... in hindsight it was probably funny watching me try to politely give them free stuff only to have them shove it back at me. Usually Apple folks treasure anything Jobs-ian in design :-p Anyhoo, that's my adventure. ]]>Aug 8th 2007 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/apple-4g-imac-first-unboxing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/apple-4g-imac-first-unboxing-impressions/Aug 8th 2007 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/apple-4g-imac-first-unboxing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/apple-4g-imac-first-unboxing-impressions/Aug 8th 2007 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/apple-4g-imac-first-unboxing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/apple-4g-imac-first-unboxing-impressions/

Actualy when you're in sales...It actualy annoys most people when you turn down free stuff, because there really is no point to turning it down...Seriously if you don't want it, Take it and chuck it away as soon as you get it, or give it to someone who is a little more thankfull, just don't try give it back, its really annoying.]]>Aug 9th 2007 3:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/apple-4g-imac-first-unboxing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/apple-4g-imac-first-unboxing-impressions/
I don't know what company you've worked sales for, but you find it more acceptable to either A) stash something you aren't going to ever use in some random drawer where it can collect dust or B) throw it away in the nearest dumpster as opposed to giving it to someone else that has a higher chance of actually putting it to good use, that isn't a company I would ever want to work for, and you certainly aren't an employee I would ever hire. I don't know what sort of life you've had up to this point, but I learned years ago that even if I had no use for something, chances were someone else would be more then happy to have that thing instead. Other people's trash etc etc. The louder of the two employees said almost exactly what you just did, which surprised the manager when I passed that on to him, as apparently that same employee is the 'recycle freak' of the store. Go fig. ]]>Aug 8th 2007 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/apple-4g-imac-first-unboxing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/apple-4g-imac-first-unboxing-impressions/
You were shocked when they didn't want the peripherals back...by the way... you didn't want them either, so why were you so shocked?

You also said you life wasn't normally this exiting...sounds like you don't have a life. Why buy something you don't like and then why tell the world you bought something you don't like???]]>Aug 8th 2007 7:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/apple-4g-imac-first-unboxing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/apple-4g-imac-first-unboxing-impressions/
BTW I would be very happy to take this keyboard and MM off your hands. I'd even pay for shipping. Ok?]]>Aug 8th 2007 9:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/apple-4g-imac-first-unboxing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/apple-4g-imac-first-unboxing-impressions/
Its just that, first of all, you have paid for the item, it is yours, and legally the store does not have to take it, because it does not belong to them. And as you describe, the keyboard could not have been resold, as it is not an individually packaged item. No I would obviously accept the keyboard back from you with some confusion as to why, but I would never just deny you, of course that employee took it to extremes but in reality, his idea was, to give the customer the best value possible. When you tried to return the keyboard and mouse you were willingly losing out, and when you sell overpriced goods, and the sales person knows that, then you feel that you should give the best deal possible, and when they try to give you things back, at loss to themselves, it is is confusing because you cannot understand why..

Hey, was that by chance a Best Lie, oops, I mean Best Buy, store? Just sounds on-par with the idiocy that I've experienced at my local store.

But in general, what I really want to know is, will this new Macintel PC run WOW and run hot enough to cook my pizzas while I play so I can multitask like I can with my AMD PC?
