That is priceless!!! Apple should pay you for that. (Wait . . . is that a contradiction?)
Next time I'm there I'll check to see if it's still like that.
Like someone already asked, where did they put the software isles from before?

Captain obvious says: Geniuses don't do that, contractors set up the store. Looks like a designer fell asleep.
Nice one. Funny =)

It's all been put upstairs at my local apple store. I couldn't believe how much software there actually is for macs, the room is just full of it
Agreed.
I spent 3 years in Sales/Merch management for Borders, and I can tell you that no matter how strict the planogram was, we had leeway if there was a pole in the way! I remember remodeling a store that had all sorts of load bearing poles in inconvenient places, and watching the remodel manager from corp working on-the-fly to make usability changes with our construction crew.
There's no excuse for that level of non-thinking, except that it was probably done by someone who just didn't care when they put the display up.
So it's been a few days and I happen to be in the neighborhood again today, and stopped in. The laptop is still facing the column.
This time, they weren't busy, so I decided to ask an employee about it. He laughed and ask "What... you can't reach it?"
He went on to say they they are told to strictly stick to planograms, so they did. But after the laptop was placed in such a silly spot, they took a picture and "sent it in to corporate". Corporate came back with "It's fine, leave it."
So that laptop will remain there... facing the column... seriously.
It's going to become a tourist attraction. I just know it. Next time you're in the store, take a photo with the column and post it!
Boom

How ridiculous. This makes me want to go PRSI.
I hope that kid who's laptop got rained on gets it repaired for free now.

He better watch out for Chris Hansen.
