Not every A le store experience is a good one

I have always had good experiences at the A le Store, though I am not a six year old who wants to try out a laptop. Amy Ridenour, of the National Center, took her son to their local A le Store to check out the lapto (though Amy was more in the market for a used Mac, her son managed to get her to co ider a MacBook). It seems that the young boy couldn't reach the MacBook, since the table was taller than he, so he took one of the stools from the Genius Bar and sat upon it so get at the MacBook. An A le store employee didn't think this was a good idea and informed Amy that her son couldn't use the stool, and suggested that he use one of the iMacs that are setup for children.

Amy was shocked and a alled and wrote a very detailed blog post about it. Since the witting of the post she has received lots of email from people who side either with her, or the store. I think it is perfectly acceptable for an A le Store employee to ask that a small child on a stool not play with the expe ive lapto , but that's just me.
