This was a mighty interesting experience; can't wait to do it again in 2 years.
My adventure started yesterday afternoon around 5pm when I decided to check out the camping crowd at the AT&T store. 5 guys had assumed squatters rights; one had indicated he had been there since 1:30 pm that day. I bid them good bye and told them I'd be back later.
I come back to the AT&T store around 11:45 pm. My 5 squatters had doubled to at least 10. Most interesting assortment of campers: some with sleeping bags, one with a tent, and others like myself with a chair. :smile:
As it turns out, it was a long and chilly night. I paced myself on my diet coke so I wouldn't have to impose on someone I didn't know.
Around 7:30 am, the AT&T managers distribute flyers to the people in line with instructions to get information prior to going in the store.
About 8:15 am, the AT&T manager informs the line that there were on 8 - 8GB, and 6 -16 GB white iPhones left. Fortunately, I timed my camping trip such that I was able to get my 16 GB white iPhone.
All in all, a mighty interesting experience. I can't wait to do it again. :smile:
