Apple customer service
OK so the new ipad 3 is out. A great piece of kit and well worth the wait. But what a hassle to get one. Calling a certain Apple shop here in the UK to ask if there are any available is like asking to be be let in the Pentagon. Why do Apple have to be so top secret in telling you the chances of buying one from a shop are good, or not. Some snotty girl told me it was not company policy to let customers know about stock levels. When I pointed out that I would have to travel from the sticks her reply was 'tough' you have to take your chance like everyone else. I really cannot see the problem in being told yes we have plenty or no there are only a few left......
