'genius' bar my arse
Honestly, what the hell is wrong with apple shops?
I took my laptop in a little while ago because it was playing up. Lovely guy, showed me that my battery is pretty near the end of its life, and needs to be replaced. Told me how much it would cost, and that they would need it for half a day. Watched the blood drain out of my face, and assured me it would only be half a day. Ok fine.
Then the inlaws didn't pick the kid up on time and I didn't get there.
So today I tried to make that appointment again. And oh holy farm, but that is annoying.
The woman on the phone seemed incapable of understanding that I have already had the 15 minute appointment. I know what needs to be done. I know what it will cost. I can't have my computer away from me for two days, I am a law student coming up on exams FFS. How about you order the parts, and once they are in I bring my computer in. Then it won't take long right? You can't do that. Ummm why exactly?
Because they can't.
So I thought, no problem. There is an apple products but not actually apple shop a couple of ks in the other direction. So I called them. They want my computer for 5 days. I can't pay for the battery and you get it in then fix my computer? No. Ummmm why exactly? Because you can't.
FFS. This is nuts. Who is going to do without their laptop for 5 days these days anyway? I am going to have to go back into the apple shop and stalk the guy from before. Honestly how can anyone be so annoying.
