With offers like that no wonder you're having troubles lol

 

[Mot!]

buy a genuine battery and fit it yourself, piece of pi$$. You can clean the fan whilst you're at it ;D

 

[Christopher]

Pretty sure his is a 2008/Early 2009 MBP, with the removable battery.

 

[Revels]

Or just give it to Chris, let him take it to Apple and he'll return it to you with a bigger HD, new screen, case, battery, charger and probably an iPhone 8GSII

 

[Mot!]

You're right Chris,

I <3 the Apple Store @ The Trafford Centre.

my friend just started working there. sid he's called (well he's not he's called mark...but everyone calls him sid)

 

[Christopher]

The new store there is awesome. It needed to move TBH, the old one was too cramped!

 

[welshname]

the old one was temp. they had the one they are in now forever. but they closed it for refurbing

 

[Mr Pants]

I want to go to my local store and smell an iMac and fondle a iPad. And then maybe grope a Macbook Air.

 

[welshname]

do we have any apple employees on here?

 

[Mr Pants]

If I got fired I'd apply for a job at Apple. Or Nandos. Or both. Oh I'm terribly excited right now.

 

[welshname]

Read that and see if you still want to work there.

It's still retail. It's still dealing with the retarded general public. Just selling good stuff.

 

[welshname]

yeah but id apply for genuis...duhhhhh...and its one of the best paid retail jobs.

 

[Revels]

Not really, not anymore.

Plus being a genius is even worse. Someone actually went in to a store and had a massive row because they bought an 'iPhone' on eBay with a stylus and it broke.

I could never do it. Retail is hell. It doesn't matter how you sugar coat it.

 

[Jason_E]

Yup. I went for a job at a better place, more upmarket, more money. Still have to serve retards.

(P.S, the service thing has disappeared and the battery is holding charge now? PROBLEM APPLE?)

 

[jenic]

The only good thing about retail is the other people working with you can be a laugh, but in an apple store you'll have very little time to socialise i expect

I always thought revels worked in retail though :S

 

[Moz168]

*Sigh* since reading this thread mine is doing exactly the same. Says 'not charging' and then switches to '45% full'.

Im blaming you Jason E!!!

 

[Curtis!]

Best part about retail is f**king about.

Worst part about retail is general public.

Simple.

Lol at some of those, the woman who had to condition herself to stay up till midnight, I mean come on, seriously.

 

[Alexiooo]

i work at an Apple Retail Store, i also read Crappleblog, the guy is funny, but i havent experienced any of the bad things he talks about on there... for once in my life, i can say i absolutely love working there... yeh, its retail, but its fun. better than working in a call centre or getting grubby in a factory/workshop imo... get to meet people from all walks of life, and chat to them about stuff i am passionate about.

 

[Revels]

You couldn't talk about it even if you hated working there! Lol.

 

[Alexiooo]

Very true... you seem to know a lot Revels... are you a current or ex-Red Zoner perhaps?
