been trying for about five hours to book an appointment without success, got one first time with your suggestion, brilliant 🙂

I have always found it to be much faster to just walk into the store without an appointment. Never had to wait more than 15 or 20 minutes.

You are very lucky if you have done that lately. BUSY, Busy, busy are most Stores. - I personally think that "browsing the Store while one waits" is a good marketing strategy, but apparently Apple's cost/benefit analyses prove otherwise.

Even if you have an appointment you have to check in and wait for a bit so maybe you are right and it is a good strategy. I take it you have access to Apple corporate analyses? Or are you just speculating on Apple policy?

In the past two months I've had no problem getting in early to see a Genius at the Southlake, Willow Bend and University village stores and there has not been near the traffic as before Christmas. Perhaps they need a new product.

1. I take it you have access to Apple corporate analyses?
2. Or are you just speculating on Apple policy?

1. Not directly, but as an Apple Shareholder, I certainly expect
2. Apple to do cost/benefit analyses on the most minute ("my newt" - English! whaddaya gonna do?) of decisions, and certainly on a sweeping change of policy that might affect my earnings 😎 - Genius Bar = "loss leader" & that is fine with me.

Perhaps they need a new product.

Hmmm....

buenos tardes, neighbor

So 1 would be not at all. And 2 would be more blowing smoke? Or do you have access to inside information that Apple does this.

Was being sarcastic about the new product, even without inside information I know it was coming.

Seriously?

No smoke here, hombre. I answered your questions as any learned investor would... As an Apple shareholder, I expect them to do cost/benefit analysis of what color paper clips to use! If they didn't do C/B analysis of GB walk-ins to reservations, it would be p*** poor business management - and I think they are doing pretty well.

As a shareholder I would be appalled if they did a cost/benefit analysis of what color paper clips they use. Give that Mr. Jobs didn't buy into such management I seriously doubt they do so even with Mr. Cook now in charge. W. Pipeline in Bedford or Hurst?

sarcastic, facetious, .... we're getting a lot of the Humors in this repartee! Hurst, very near Bedford line. Ain't it strange how they cal the Tri-Cities Hurst-Euless-Bedford? H-E-B...- maybe the municipalities were coat-tailing HEB Food Stores?

Yes, Frank, you're a genius for providing the Genius Bar answer. I was getting annoyed that I could not find a way to make an appointment. I've already tried support and want an in-person answer as I have multiple problems spanning multiple devices. Downloaded the app as you suggested and BOOM it's done. Thank you!

Thanks, they made it a little bit complicated, but I made it trough 🙂

Great. This worked for me. Their new online process is ridiculous!!!
