Well, yesterday in Northbrook, I had to wait 30 minutes to buy something at the apple store, so the story is credible to me.


Unless you need advice from a blue shirt working the floor or what you were buying is over $100, you can pay and check yourself out with the Apple Store app [1] and what they call their Easy Pay feature. I find this especially convenient when a store I go into is very crowded or I just don't want to wait. I grab what I need, scan it with the app, key in my password, and walk out usually within 5 minutes.

Ah. Well, I go in quite rarely, and don't yet have an iPhone. Will keep your tip in mind for the next trip.

Oh, the thing I bought wasn't up front anywhere, but buried way in the back behind a door.
