An apple store is about to open in my city and i have heard from previous openings that apple is known to give out T-shirts, imacs, macbooks, ipods and more! Is this true or is it worth me waiting in line all night just to have a chance for a free piece of sweet apple hardware?! sorry i know this has nothing to do with the iPhone but i was just wondering!
 
yeah i ve never heard of anything about giving free stuff other than t-shirts and sometimes free songs in itunes (gift cards) never any hardware
 
Do you have to buy anything to get the free shirts/giftcards or just show up to check it out? The Apple store near me is opening at the end of september (or so I hear).
 
They gave away a Macbook every hour for 24 hours when the 5th Ave. store opened in NYC a coupla years ago.

By contrast, I happened to be at the store opening in Peoria, IL in May. It was just me and the manager, Tony. Not a big Apple town I guess. He gave me half of his Snickers.
 
Here in Okie land it was T-Shirt's. And it wasn't nearly as crowded as it is when a new Walmart open's. :D

Yes I know... red state with right wing nut job's. Very scary for me... :D
 
When they opened the Apple Store in Vancouver, Canada, there were only T-Shirts. I'd go anyways though, it's a good experience.

I live in Norman, born and raised in Oklahoma, and Wal-Mart has to be the single worst experience one can have. So crowded, and if I have to deal with one more retard who can't handle the self-checkout line (you know what I mean, the ones who take a year to find the darn barcode) one more time, I might go postal. :)

As far as right-wing nuts, (I myself am an independent) I think it is funny that our Governor is a Democrat, yet OK has not voted Democratic in a Presidential election since LBJ. The reality is that OK democrats are really more toward the center than they admit. The state is pretty socially conservative across the board.

I only go to the Neighborhood Market version of Walmart. Self-checkout should be used as a sort of darwin test. Is it really that hard to scan f**king item's? Really? WTF?

I'll be voting for Obama, but I doubt he'll break the Republican streak in Okie land. After all he doesn't have the lottery to help him. *sigh*

You realize there are other places to post on MacRumors, right?
 
Most likely not, that is only with their big retail stores opening (5th Ave, and the other most recent NYC opening). I don't even think that the Boylston Street Apple Store in Boston gave anything away other than free T-Shirts, and that is the biggest Apple Store in the U.S.
 
Only Flagship stores have giveaways. SoHo, SFO, 5th Ave, Michigan Ave.

I suspect that when they do finally open an Apple Store in Downtown Seattle, that they will have giveaways.
