This past spring, the Best Buys in Los Angeles had a pilot program for Apple computers (and Apple reps too). The Comp USA here in Dayton has an Apple rep (well, he wears a different uniform that the rest of the employees, and it seems like he might not be Comp USA staff). That's interesting--I'd like to know more about how Apple handles their reps in these 3rd party locations.
Of course, now that holidays are upon us, the extra staff at the Apple Store locations aren't necessarily the most knowledgeable either (gasp!). I talked to a few last week that were kinda clueless. And a few didn't own Macs. LOL Shouldn't that be a prerequisite or something?

My father works at an apple store. unfortunately at his store ( i have no clue about other apple stores around the world) you need ZERO apple knowledge to get a job there.

Two summers ago in the Kansas City area Best Buy did an Apple pilot program. It got pulled pretty quickly though. Also at the local Comp USA, there is a very knowledgeable Apple Rep (even though he was really arrogant.).

There are usually one or two really arrogant sales people at my local Apple store. Seems kinda weird to me because everyone else is like a huge hippie.

I've been in my local apple store only three times and the sales reps were very nice, but not very knowledegable. The Comp USA by house has apple, but the people there don't know anything about them, therefore, they can't sell anything.

Up to a few months back our CompUSA had a very good Apple Rep. Very knowledgeable and friendly and helpfull. He got offered a better job in another city and left. Sad day when he left.
The night Tiger was released they had a big party at the store and I was able to help him a bit with the Demo of Tiger. One of the best apple salespeople I have ever met.

I tried to use a coupon when I bought my iPod at Best Buy and they said that Apple didnt allow discounts on their products. So I dont know if you will be able to use a coupon.
