Took the wife's ipod 30gb video 5th gen to the apple store today as it was making a horrible harddrive clicking noise and it was not working.

When in the store we saw a young girl who took the ipod from me held it to her ear and said 'It sounds like crisps, that can't be good he he...' and off she went with my ipod to get it shipped off for repairs or whatever but it made me smile :)

I love it when girls get technical :D

Was it the brunette in the Trafford store by any chance?*

(*Note to self- get a life)
 
What flavour crisps?

If it's smokey bacon you can kiss it goodbye forever.

Don't us hardware spec / gadget / tech geeks always do that?

I mean it's funny she joked about the iPod sounding like crisp - perhaps it was lunch time and she was hungry. It's another thing where purple shirt people points you a Netgear Cable Wireless Router and say: you need this to run AOL Broadband with it (that's my only hee hee hee stupid moment when I was at PC world, was my 3rd and last visit since tho)

If she was on the shop floor she was presumably a Concierge or a Mac Specialist. The geniuses just lurk behind the bar being dead clever
 
App Store: "Whats the problem sir?"
Customer: "There is a problem with my ipod"
App Store: "Surely not? Lets have a look for my analysis"
Customer: "As you can see its making funny noises!?"
App Store: "hmm sounds like crisps, that can't be good!"
Customer: "Crisps! my sweet jesus are you sure!!?"
App Store: "Trust me sir, I'm a Genius"

:D
 
I once went to the Purple shirted place with my girlfriend's grandmother (to buy an el cheapo laptop.. not my recommendation) and had to listen to a member of staff peddling off paragraphs of crap.

Basically, saying you NEED this, you NEED that, you NEED the support.. I was turning a blind eye because I was tired and he wasn't making eye contact. Eventually he started going off on one saying how it took him 4 hours to fix a problem in Vista.

At which point I said, "listen mate, we only came for the laptop, if there's a problem and I can't fix it, then no one, especially not someone in India is going to be able to fix it".

His face was a picture.. made worse by the laughing from the old lady :D
