So I got there, and even after making my reservation, I had to wait an additional half hour.
But once my name was called, and after I wrote my name, email, and phone # down, I was given a new iPod to replace the now dead McNulty.
Why did I have to write my info down, I wonder. I didn’t dare ask my genius, Gerald, because he seemed to be a little grumpy – going against exactly what my last post in this series had said – but that might have had more to do with the fact that it was 6pm, and everybody’s grumpy at 6pm. But back to the question, as to why I was grumpy.
As it says above on my reciept, this was a Repeat Repair. Which means, probably, that Apple Inc. is suspicious as hell of me. Am I just some dude who doesn’t take care for his iPod and expects these free replacements? Maybe. This has inspired me to keep track of all, if any, mistakes I make in the taking care of it, to see if it’s me or is it Apple that’s at fault.
And here’s a photo of the new one, looks just like the old one, and has yet to be named or filled with music, as I’m currently charging it up.
