Business must be good at Best Buy. They would rather lose a $600.00+ sale than provide the same

point of sale service as the Apple Store. I wanted to buy an Ipad which are priced the same everywhere. Apple will activate and set up the device at no cost.
When I asked the Best Buy salesperson about activation he said they could do it but I would have to pay for it. I gave him back the Ipad and accessories I had planned to purchase and went to Apple.

1. My dear ohiosmith!

Wow, talk about rigidity on their part!

That is really short-sighted.

You did the right thing...

I'll bet you're loving your iPad, too...I've seen them, and they are awesome!

3. $600.00 probably doesn't cover 10 seconds worth of toilet paper

in Best Buy's operational budget.

4. $600.00 x how many others like this?

Over a period of time.

5. there's even more than those

who are willing to fork over cash.

i think best buy isn't sweating 6 bills.
