Glad to hear that the Apple Store saw the error in how they handled that situation, and compensated the potential customer for their embarrassment. I think they must have realized that their elitist attitude was sending the wrong message to a lot of potential customers. I know lots of older folks who see the Debit Card as a Credit Card, and have not adapted to the "New" way of spending. I find it easier, but I just couldn't convince my 85 year old mother it was the way to go, when I did her shopping. It was easier for her to grasp that I could be put on her signature card at her bank so I could sign her checks, than it was to grasp that the little plastic card was like a check. Just too many new concepts for an older mind. And I personally found it very satisfying to buy my iMac in cash money, counting out the bills and taking the Paid In Full receipt! I felt very empowered by the act! In fact, I hope to do the same thing when I get my iPad 3G in a few months. Although, I WILL call the store in advance to be sure they still accept money!
