Mouse Pads No More?

Apple Store employees have always be very courteous and friendly to me. Whenever I find myself in one of Apple's retail outlets the crew of the store are helpful and not overbearing (no hard sells, as they say in the biz).

However, I never asked for a mouse pad. Dan Cederholm, of Simple Bits, did just that and the Apple fellow apparently answered haughtily that the Apple Store never carried anything as archaic as a mouse pad.

The Missing Bite has a bunch of vintage Apple mouse pads, in case anyone is interested (Dan got his at an office store after the rebuffing).
