I bought an iPod for my cousin a few weeks ago. The "EasyPay" line was so long that I was able to just walk right up to the counter at the back of the store and get one there.
I asked the guy behind the counter if I could get a white 2 GB iPod nano. He got one from the shelf, and I gave him my credit card, I signed the receipt, end of transaction. No pestering for addresses, e-mails, phone numbers, zip codes, anything. Not even an attempt to sign up for AppleCare.

If business owners are mad about people plugging devices in, why are there electric outlets there anyway?
I didn't know enough people actually own a segway to form a polo team, let alone an enthusiasts group.
