I'm teaching full time at DMACC this year, for anyone that didn't know that, so I have quit my job at Apple so I don't go crazy. I'd like to go back someday. In the meantime, since I'm not an employee anymore, I am free to share some stories and quotes from customers over the years (it would have been three years in October).
Apple has a very strict policy against blogging about Apple products and services, otherwise I would have shared before. I have nothing but good things to say about the company and employees there, but, as with any retail job, there can be some funny stories. I'm not going to give away anything that you wouldn't otherwise overhear if you were standing next to me, so please don't sue me.
Some favorite quotes:
(from a German customer) "I would like one of your fancy iPod nanos."
Mac Specialist: "Can I get your email?"
Normal looking teenage girl: "Gothdiva1234 at hotmail.com"
Transferring a word doc and excel doc onto a CD, Customer: "Will they both fit?"
"My iPod locked up. I have the extended warranty plan. Can I have a new one?"
Guy on phone: "Why does iTunes need 350 megs free to install a 12 meg program?"
Specialist: "How much space do you have?"
Guy on phone: "About 100 meg, but I'm downloading a movie on Limewire, so probably less than that."
Woman on the phone: "My computer isn't working. Can I talk to one of your smart people?"
"How many gigadigits does this computer have?"
Customer on phone.. "my iPod battery doesn't work. I need you to send me a new one"
Customer, asked which computer they have: "I have a G5 and a G6"

don't forget this one...
Dr Dre: My mac is broke.
Specialist: What happened?
Dr Dre: I dropped it.
Specialist: I guess the Apple doesn't fall far from the Dre...

Oh, I have a separate list for your dad. It's 12 pages long.
