On May 14th I decided to go buy an iPad (WIFI + 3G). Today after many days of waiting I finally received my iPad. Early this morning after waking up I decided that today was the day, I had given up and I should also pre-order one online, I figured that if it shipped from China it would be here before my iPad ever made it to the Apple store in New York. Just as I received the confirmation about my new iPad and the shipping date I got the email that my new iPad was ready for pickup! I proceeded to cancel my order online and drive 13 miles to the Apple store.

Arriving and eager to finally hold my iPad I was helped by a lovely women. She has informed me that my credit card was denied! Next we I sat on hold with my bank for about 30-40 minutes while I confirmed that nobody had stolen my credit card. (I suppose purchasing and then canceling and iPad only a few minutes before had seemed suspicious.)

During my time on waiting on hold in the the Apple store i had a lovely conversation with poor Apple employee that had been stuck with me. After the long wait I was very informed about her life, talking about college and her recent trip to florida.

After all of that I finally left the store with my iPad and an Apple employee I will never forget, Thank for everything!
