Seems like there are more employees than customers sometimes :)

Definitely. When the iPhone was first announced, we started getting crowds like we before would only see on Christmas week. By the time I left, there were 120 permanent employees for that store... don't know how many now.

I miss working there, but I don't. When I go in now as a customer, sometimes it's so crowded, I wonder, "how in the HELL did I manage to not lose my mind with all these people in here?" I guess it helped that I started working there when the store was pretty much dead unless there was a new item released or it was 2 weeks leading up to Christmas or back to school. I literally can't stay in there very long, because I get overwhelmed by the crowds. I don't know if it's simply more crowded (likely) than when I left, or it's just that I haven't worked here in nearly 5 years and am no longer desensitized.

I have the same feelings about GameStop :)

Too bad our store here doesn't do anything. Its in the mall and just has the big glass doors/windows with no display.
