I went to an apple store once that buy my dad the basic ipad mini and had something similar.

"Hi, how can i help"

"I'd like this model of the ipad mini with x storage capacity"

"What are you going to use it for?"

"It's for my dad i just need that specific one as it's within the budget"

"What is he going to use it for?"

"Ipad stuff i guess, i just need that specific model"

"Video's? Design? Editing maybe?"

I nearly walked out of there as a result of how annoying that got.

I had the misfortune of working there once at the time they were pushing .Mac accounts hard and being new I wasn't 100% on all the details so I heard a coworker selling it and he mentioned the camera on the laptop wont work without the account. Not knowing any better I repeated that to a customer and the manager hears me say it... Needless to say she was not happy about that lol

I HATE sales with a burning passion so I would basically send people to other stores whenever I could lol want that cable? Best buy has it cheaper.

Also those people are so self absorbed.... The first day starting they give us this b.s speech "congratulations! Getting accepted here is harder than getting into Stanford!" Lol...yeah... Sure...

I've literally waved the money at them and said "do you want this or not??!! The stop talking and sell me what I want." Not in the Apple store but Currys here in the UK.
