Review of Apple Store

Think Different, please! 
I love and hate this place! 28,000 sq ft of Apple stuff - quite simply heaven... If only it wasn't for the people! Why are there so many of them. Clearly not all of them are Apple users/fans (about 99.99%), so why can't they just go away and leave me alone to actually appreciate the products, rather than peer over the shoulder of irritating tourists and confused microtards...
There should be a license, with an Apple entrance exam, that one has to display to get in... Or maybe shoppers should be forced to wear 'Bomb Redmond' pin badges... Or better still, you should get stripped searched on the way in. If you are carrying anything less than an iPod, MacBook, iPhone and a recent edition of MacWorld magazine, you should be ejected from the store for eternity!
However, if you are lucky enough to go to this place when it is relatively empty (perhaps late at night, or during a Windows update or something), you will find yourself walking around in awe, whilst convincing yourself that you 'need' that new iMac, iPod or other essential piece of hardware.
I love the fact that there is a place on earth with probably the highest density of Apple products per sq ft. And that the largest Apple Store in the world is here in London. For me, going to this place reminds me how much I love Apple. Their taste in design is exquisite and is reflected in this space, providing a retail experience that is second to none.
100 stars for the store, -95 stars for the annoying shoppers who are there for all the wrong reasons...!!
