Apple Cult or We're Here To Clean The Carpets

Am I the only one who is weirded out by Apple Stores? Yes, they are incredibly efficient. Yes, you feel like you have been shot into another dimension when you walk in there. But you also feel like you've walked into a cult compound. It's like all the slackers in the world have been hypnotized. Ironic hipster detachment combined with tech geek and fast service equal cult.

Yep. Wanted to buy an iPod in a particular color. Local Radio Shack did not have it, but recommended the Apple Store. My response was that I could not deal with the long-haired, ironic, detached, hipster-freaks who work there. The two RS employees collapsed into laughter.

Found what I needed at Best Buy.
