Remember, no matter how rough your morning was today, at least you didn’t have to stay up all night getting the store ready and then still muster enough energy to perform the required clapping and cheering to impress Apple customers.
No matter how many times I read about the person who had a robot stand in line, the only thing I can think is: How did someone not put their fist through the screen?
