Reid About It

I spent Saturday looking into getting an iPhone for Lovely Wife Kimberly. Our first stop was the local AT&T store, which I quickly found out wasn't an actual AT&T store, merely a store with an awning, an AT&T logo, and a liscence to disappoint.

I asked the semi-authorized AT&T store clerk about upgrading to an iPhone, and he responded that they didn't carry the iPhone. They didn't have it, wouldn't carry it, and couldn't help me get one.

If you can't sell the number one thing that people are wanting, why bother being open? When I go to Best Buy and look at computers, they don't refuse to stock PCs and Windows in favor of Commodore 64s.

That's like a potato chip store that doesn't sell Lays.

"Uh, no Lays, ma'am, we don't have the rights to sell those. We've got Munchos, though..."

UPDATE: It's been brought to my attention that some people don't know what Munchos are. According to wikipedia, Munchos are only available in the South. Weird. For those of you who don't know, they're a semi-edible, crunchy to the point of disgust potato chip that I've been seeing on store shelves for my entire life, yet rarely seen eaten.
