Any carrier store that gets 1 or 2 pluses in will quickly go to store manager(s) and other employees. Maybe by mid next week Apple Stores will start getting some pluses.

Sorry OP, I was really pulling for you.

Amazing that people who's job it is to sell phones can't actually tell them apart :/
I hear ya, it's sad that I can go into my local att corporate and know more about the phones and features than their staff. I found 1 guy who is passionate about his job and is a phone nerd like myself. I don't even deal with anyone else. He kids me and says I should work there, he makes a killing due to the fact he is the only one with the correct answers.

Bummer OP, sucks you had to camp out due to someone's incompetence. When everything calms down a bit you should talk to the manager and let them know what happened, explain that you waited all night because you were misinformed, maybe they'll give you an account credit or free accessory.

Sorry OP.

I bet they did have 1 7+ JB as the employee told you but when the manager came he probably said no it's mine tell him you thought it was a plus.

I did. And that was my reply. You think because I still replied and didn't change my mind that I didn't read it
If you are comparing a (hopefully) once in a lifetime wedding day to an iPhone launch day, well there's part of the problem. If she got those texts you suggest unsolicited, well sure, but if she posted about the situation of the weather, I think people would offer the truth that it might rain. Do you think your cousin would start a topic about the weather at her wedding without thinking people would tell her about the weather??? You are reaching here...

If my cousin started a topic about how excited she was for her wedding today without mentioning the likelihood of rain, it would be completely in line with the OP starting a topic about how he could not believe his good fortune. He didn't ask anyone if they thought he going to get screwed (though sadly he did).....No reach.

I don't want to argue with you anymore. I used a poor choice of words, one I use too often clowning with my friends, and it caused offense. I apologize. I thought some people were, and not even necessarily you, doing what happens so much in these forums. They look for a reason to steal someone's thunders. Some do it unintentionally (the ones I didn't call out), some out of an apparent jealousy, and some just because they troll (and I find trolls to be dbags.....bad word or not). I feel like you came out of the gate thinking I was referring to you as the latter when I never once was. And once I felt attacked, that is the mode I switched into.

I hope everyone gets the phone they want. This is an exciting time for many of us enthusiasts. Heck I have a shiny new plus coming today and I don't even know if I made the right choice on size. But I am excited none the less. I am sorry for offending you, or others, in any way. I just wanted the OP to revel in the apparent state of euphoria he was currently in. Cheers and hope you have an excellent day.

I bought it. Instantly put it on ebay

Sorry you had that happen... can't imagine what a let-down it was. Hope you make enough $ to make it worthwhile.
