I work by an Apple store and Microsoft store (across from each other) and I can't tell you how many times I've heard people make comments about it being weird Apple would have two stores right across from each other...

[–]8bit4life 12 points13 points ago

Mall of America?

[–]kittytits 6 points7 points ago

yep!

[–]8bit4life 9 points10 points ago

Ha! I work across the street from there and go to the mall most days. I will say I prefer the Microsoft store. Got the laptop I'm typing on now from there and the sales people are so nice.

[–]kittytits 7 points8 points ago

I always thought Microsoft looks like it'd be more fun then Apple- it's a lot more colorful and the sales people get to play DDR on Kinect whenever they want lol I work like right in between both of them so I'll watch them on it when I'm bored...

[–]crm7290 9 points10 points ago

If someone is walking around between both stores yelling kitty tits, would any response be given?

[–]DCMFDOOM 1 point2 points ago

Kittytits, please answer this question.

[–]andylaub 0 points1 point ago

I was thinking the same thing. It's surreal.

[–]JurassicParkerr 13 points14 points ago

I want to see all 8 of you. (Username)

[–]Kthulu666 3 points4 points ago

I live near a mall with both stores. I couldn't resist going into the Microsoft store and asking where the Apple store was.

[–]dhoomz 1 point2 points ago

the way you typed your responce suggests that you work at both. you don't work at both, do you?

[–]kittytits 1 point2 points ago

Oh no, I don't work at either of them. I work at a kiosk right in between both of them...

[–]Theoryak 72 points73 points ago

At least she knows she's an idiot.

[–]amariessa[S] 3 points4 points ago

Hey now - my friend is definitely not an idiot!

I find it endearing (and think it's a great personality trait to have) when she does have a blonde moment and can then laugh about it. :)

[–]Zombie_Feeder 3 points4 points ago

That's the first step.

[–]RyBo44 21 points22 points ago

Microsoft store...that's still a thing?

[–]Froggypwns 11 points12 points ago

They have opened a bunch of locations in the north east recently.

[–]lavacat 1 point2 points ago

I never knew it was a thing to begin with. What do you buy there? Clippy plushies?

[–]jaredisthegreatest 9 points10 points ago

The Microsoft store in the mall near me is being opened by Weezer next weekend! BOOYAH!

[–]vanzee 1 point2 points ago

Part of a long tradition. Back in the day the only video file I ever had on my computer was the Buddy Holly video it came with.

[–]jaredisthegreatest 0 points1 point ago

Yep! It's going to be a fucking zoo. There's going to be a meet and greet too, and I'm going to try to get something signed! I desperately want to meet Rivers.

[–]Therealme9 4 points5 points ago

everyones first thought:

there are microsoft stores?

[–]phlid0r 8 points9 points ago

TIL America has Microsoft shops

[–]dutchapprentice 1 point2 points ago

aka heaven

all your Zune needs under one roof

[–]sydneygamer 3 points4 points ago

Thank you for having a full battery.

[–]amariessa[S] 1 point2 points ago

You're welcome! :D

[–]LeadSunglasses 9 points10 points ago

When I worked in Sony a woman came in looking for an Xbox-360 for her son. It was so hard not to point and laugh (my coworkers did) so I had to try and tell her in the most suttle way possible that the Xbox is a Microsoft product. In the end I managed to convince her to buy a PS3 though. Marketing skills like a boss.

[–]speedracer13 17 points18 points ago

And then her son was disappointed because he got the wrong gaming system, and he cried. Way to go, asshole.

[–]LeadSunglasses 4 points5 points ago

Haha, I was just doing my job! She said it was a "surprise" anyway so I don't think the kid really asked for a specific console.

[–]speedracer13 2 points3 points ago

Did you work on commission?

[–]LeadSunglasses 0 points1 point ago

Nope

[–]Lunatic14 5 points6 points ago

But the the mom was happy she did not have to buy x- box live.

[–]speedracer13 -1 points0 points ago

You get like a year free with an Xbox purchase, plus another 3 months with half the games you buy, plus it's cheap as shit and far better than what PS3 offers...

Edit: Also, Halo.

[–]Muckfumble 0 points1 point ago

How's them ads bro?

[–]speedracer13 0 points1 point ago

Wouldn't know. I don't actually play Live. My brother does. The only time I go online on Xbox is to get the DLCs for Forza.

[–]Lunatic14 0 points1 point ago

No way. I DIDN'T GET A YEAR!!! I have Xbox.

[–]speedracer13 0 points1 point ago

Really? I don't play Xbox live, but my brother does (I prefer to just play Forza against the computer or play single player campaigns in shooters), and we have like 4 years of free Xbox accumulated from the purchase of the system, random games, and random accessories. We also got 18 months total when it red-ringed on Christmas day. I called in the warranty and they hooked us up with an extra year because it happened on Xmas.

[–]Lunatic14 0 points1 point ago

Wow

[–]zoom56 -1 points0 points ago

PC, better than both

edit: I accidentally a letter

[–]speedracer13 -3 points-2 points ago

PC sucks for racing games or Halo. For Skyrim, Fallout, and Minecraft, PC is absolutely better. You can't declare that PC gaming is universally the best across all types of games.

[–]clayvn 2 points3 points ago

For halo you may be correct (Halo 3 and onwards at least) since it is Xbox exclusive, but who is stopping you from using an Xbox controller or racing wheel on a pc racing game?

[–]speedracer13 -1 points0 points ago

I would much rather play on an Xbox on a 60" television than carry my laptop around, hook up a racing wheel, move furniture around to set up PC pedals, and connect it to the same TV that the Xbox is already connected to. Convenience, my friend. Also, I don't even think they make Forza for PCs.

[–]clayvn 0 points1 point ago

Good point. Each system has its uses. To each his own I suppose.

[–]Muckfumble 0 points1 point ago

Racing games? Gheez, may aswell throw away my g27 that doesn't even work with xbox without an adapter.

[–]speedracer13 0 points1 point ago

Enjoy your inability to play a real racing game. Hope the realistic damage on Gran Turismo is worth a worse racing experience.

[–]SavageNutDump 3 points4 points ago

Microsoft... store?

[–]blind_painter 3 points4 points ago

Proving that Microsoft has nothing better to do than rip off Apple.

Get real, would ya? You and I are both like guys who had this rich neighbor - Xerox - who left the door open all the time. And you go sneakin' in to steal a TV set. Only when you get there, you realize that I got there first. I got the loot, Steve! And you're yellin'? "That's not fair. I wanted to try to steal it first." You're too late!

[–]boomieking1 -1 points0 points ago

Excellent use of that quote.

[–]gkx 0 points1 point ago

lolwut

[–]ICrimsonI 1 point2 points ago

microsoft store. seems legit.

[–]DocSporky510 1 point2 points ago

I'm amazed she wasn't ritualistically murdered by the employees for such an offense

[–]DoneRedditAlready -1 points0 points ago

microsoft store? you mean stores?

[–]luka5677 -1 points0 points ago

acknowledging your stupidity is first step to becoming smart

[–]pressthebutt0n -1 points0 points ago

BAHAHAHA LOLOLOLOL WE HAVE OURSELVES A WINNAR!

[–]l3ane 1 point2 points ago

I was really expecting to see some rant about how some stupid microsoft store didn't carry the charger for her iphone and how much the store sucked ass.

[–]shagg187 0 points1 point ago

Her request wasn't a fail. Microsoft Windows work on Mac. They should have Mac on display to show that. It's a fail on Microsoft's part not displaying that and gaining that sale.

[–]alcakd 5 points6 points ago

Microsoft Windows work on Mac.

I don't think that many people know how to get Windows on their Mac.

And those that do know how don't need to ask the staff there on where the Apple products are.

[–]crm7290 0 points1 point ago

It's way easier than you think. Someone with slightly above average skills could easily do it. I've seen it happen

[–]alcakd 0 points1 point ago

I think you over estimate people's capabilities.

Like if you just Google "How to get Windows on a Mac", one of the more simple and straight forward guides has:

" Boot Camp is software that helps users of Intel-based Macs install and use Windows XP on those systems. The Boot Camp Assistant helps you change the set-up of your hard drive so that it has two partitions—your existing Mac volume and a new Windows-compatible volume. The Assistant also burns a CD-ROM that contains drivers —files that Windows needs so that it can operate your Mac’s hardware efficiently.

Once the Boot Camp Assistant does its job, your Mac reboots and—thanks to a recent firmware update—you can insert your Windows XP installation CD and it will be recognized as a bootable volume. "

Somebody who doesn't know much about computers is going to be overwhelmed and just "Nah... fuck it", or end up hiring Geek squad or something.

[–]GGSkeletor 0 points1 point ago

I was also thinking that they might have microsoft products on hand to try to show off any differences/advantages the apple product might have over the microsoft one.

[–]jpreston2005 -3 points-2 points ago

I hate people who use incorrect one word sentences like this. ex: "fail!" and "Epic!"

I consider you retarded if you use these.
