They should change the name from "Genius Bar" to "Idiot Bar"!
My 8 year old Macbook crashed and needed to be repaired so I made the appointment to go in and see these clowns who call themselves "Geniuses" and are mostly made up of brainwashed "hipsters" who feel a need to dress like vintage lumberjacks, wear stupid hats from the 1950's, and have grown Rip Van Winkle length beards in order to fit into their insecure social circle! Ha! What a munch of DONKEYS!
So what could have been a 5 seconds diagnostic session, took almost 3 hours!! I walked in a few minutes before my scheduled appointment, checked in, and waited! And WAITED......AND WAITED!!!!! While the store was running behind schedule.
I swear, there should be 2 LINES in ALL THESE DUMPS! 1 line for dedicated Apple users that STARTED using Apple computers (Like Me) when they were placed in our Grammar schools (Apple II and Apple II e) before Apple introduced Macintosh! Pre- Ridley Scott's 1984 amazing and timeless Superbowl spot which most don't remember!
.......and then there should be 1 line for BRAINWASHED, FAN BOY, SUPERFICIAL, and MINDLESS FOOLS who only came into the Apple world AFTER the creation of the "ipod"....you know who you are....IT'S MOST OF YOU! This is the way it should work in all Apple stores. This would keep all the "ijunkies" waiting longer than us born Apple users! (By the way I coined the phrase "ijunkies" years ago myself after watching them time and time again waiting outside in LONG lines for the Apple Stores to open their doors in order for these jokers to rush in and piss their money away on each new useless igadget that comes out)
Anyway, back to the morons at the "Genuis" Bar. So after waiting, they finally call my name and I of course get the most retarded looking technician to help me. I explained the problem, while he attempts the start my computer. Then he starts taking my computer apart, opening the bottom, removing the battery, checking the keyboard, etc. After over 30 minutes, he finally tells me my hard drive needs to be replaced. OK Genius, How much will it cost? And how long do I need to leave it?? He then begins looking up the part I need on his ipad.......only to discover that since my computer is over 6 years old, they can't order the parts anymore! They call those parts "Vintage" parts....much like the hipster's tasteless "VINTAGE" clothes they all wear! Needless to say, if these "Geniuses" had even half a brain, they would have told me this in the beginning BEFORE they even started taking apart my computer and pretended to diagnose the problem! What a complete waste of MY TIME!
Against my better judgement, I wound up going to a 3rd party Apple repair shop to have my computer fixed. I feared that I would be extorted at one of these places as they are usually the last stop out of desperation. To my surprise I found the BEST Apple repair shop probably in the world. A repair shop SO amazing, they not only fixed my computer for a fraction of what Apple would have charged, but they fixed my computer even BETTER than it ever was to begin with!
Now if you ask me.....THESE guys should be called "Geniuses"...but they are not, they are called, "MacPro-LA" and they simply ROCK! They also sell new computers and accessories and repair all those broken iphones (Since they were poorly designed to begin with) Truth be told, there IS a Genius behind MacPro-LA and his name is Ray. Do yourself a favor and go see him first. Enjoy! read more
