Thanks! I work right across the street from the GC Apple store so I figured I take a quick look and hoped for the best.
Same here. At Fort Worth store. Through window don't see any on shelves. These guys are sick of seeing me here everyday. Haha.
Might be worth a check later in the day (they may get them in today's shipment...).
My staples order says delivery by the 20th but still says "Processing".
Called apple and had them search from Charlotte, NC down to Augusta, GA and there was nothing.

I just bought one at the Chelsea store.
I've been calling the Lancaster, PA store twice a day, asking to speak with a manager, and they always told me they have never received any stock.
Then I had a friend who had a business account call and ask and they put two aside for him. They kind of smuggled it out to us in a bag so no one would see it.
If you know anyone with a business account, that is the way to do it. I didn't believe they were holding stock, but I now consider that CONFIRMED.

Called the Apple Store at Village Pointe in Omaha, the lady took her time checking so I'm sure she actually checked, she said they did not have any in at this time. However my business team contacts mentioned that in the Midwest shipments usually arrive midday, so there is still hope!
On a funny note she tried to sell me on buying a 53 pencil instead and returning it when the Apple pencil is in stock. She seemed kind of uncertain of her words, almost like she was reading a script. I wonder if that is what they're being told to say when people call and ask if the pencils in stock.

That is terrible. Makes no sense and is complete garbage.
If we are eligible for a 2% business discount bc my company has a relationship with Apple, is that the same as a "business account"?
You have to open a business account with Apple. You can get 5% discounts if you spend $5000.
Pencils from midtown already on Craigslist.

Struck out again at Montgomery Mall in Bethesda MD. No pencils or keyboards. I'm going in daily until I walk out with a pencil.
This practice of hording stock for business customers is a load of crap. Someone needs to do a sting and videotape this as it happens and post it online. It is the only way Apple will stop doing this.
