Apple Store celeb stories
Apple has four retail stores in the Los Angeles area, which give the sales associates ample opportunity to rub elbows with , reports Wired News. Not all celebrity encounters have been positive, according to anonymous staffers, who report awkward encounters with everyone from Melanie Griffith to LeVar Burton. One sales associate says Griffith came right up to him and "pretty much demanded" a pink iPod mini. The mini was in short supply, and the associate told her there were none in stock. Fred Durst also knows how to rub store associates the wrong way, as was the case when he exercised a $1 discount on an iPod cable. However staffers said most stars who come into stores are "nice and friendly." Andre Benjamin from Outkast graciously posed for one photograph after another when visiting the Apple Store. The Daily Show's Jon Stewart "finds what he wants, smiles and leaves."

What a horrible article
apple employees berating celebrity customers... geeeezus.
i find the kevin smith thing to be extremely out of character. i've seen him around and he's never been anything but pleasant/personable.
Andre 3000s blurb sounds about right though. he's one of the coolest cats on the planet.
