You gotta be a hottie to work at an Apple Store.

[Ellen Forradalom]

Corporate policy. Or so it would seem, by the geekalicious store help in Chicago.

1. The best thing is, they give you their business cards w/phone #! :)

[SarahB]

2. Perhaps I won't order mine online then.

:P

3. I start at the Apple Store in The Mall at Short Hills tomorrow.

I think I'm pretty damn hott.

[Ellen Forradalom]

5. Cool!

Can I have your phone number?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

19. Sure...

Of course, I'm in NJ and you're in Chicago.

[Radical Activist]

4. Chicago has a lot of hotties in general

More so than some other places.

[Ellen Forradalom]

6. Why thank you

I do bump up the average.

[GOPisEvil]

9. I agree.

I nearly got whiplash last time I was in Chicago. Hubba!

[peacebuzzard]

7. which store in Chicago?? I am suddenly considering buying ...

in person. I though of online but now I must consider options. Is there only one store, and if so, where is it and what is the number. Might be worth a trip for something interesting to do.

8. It's Apple's own retail outlet

on Michigan Avenue at Huron St. All the toys are set up for you to play with, there's an open wireless network, and there are cute young guys eagerly waiting to help a poor hapless geek grrrl like me.

10. Not if the Milwaukee store is any indication.

Some hotties. Some...quite not hotties. Same as any store, really, except I like nerds and there's a greater proportion of them there than there are at, say, Sears.

11. Milwaukee has an Apple Store?

Yet Paris, France doesn't? Man.

[northzax]

14. hey, Paris got the Eiffel Tower

Milwaukee got an Apple Store.
Paris got l'Arc de Triomph,
Milwaukee got MGD.

seems fair.

[Ellen Forradalom]

18. Eiffel Schmeiffel

Paris is second-rate in Apple's eyes.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

15. Give them time!

They opened one in Tokyo last year, but I didn't get a chance to check it out on my September trip.

After all, Tokyo got a Disneyland before Paris did. :-)

BTW, there are TWO Apple stores in the Twin Cities, one at Southdale in Edina and the other at the (gag) Mall of America.

12. I haven't been to the North Michigan store in a while, but...

you're right. There were some major geek sass working there when I was there.

[khashka]

13. I'm sure it's corporate policy

You gotta be a major geek and seriously cute. Kind of a tough job description, but there's a lot of 'em.

My advice: Buy online. And shop all the Apple stores in your area first. Act stupid like you don't even know computers have to be plugged in. Sigh, heavily. (Girls have a major advantage, here, damn 'em! There's just something about girls/breasts/heavy sighs that turns men into zombies - go figure.)


Khash.

16. Apple users are more attractive. Smarter, too.

That's been my experience, anyway. :)

[mondo joe]

17. I must confess I have not found any hotties at the Apple stores

despite my frequent visits.

But they sure do wear a lot of paraphanalia.
