Like the Apple stores they actually employ smart people and train them well.
I teach software and am actually stunned by how clueless the BB bunch are. I've been doing my own PC repairs, upgrades, etc. since the first ones were being built. My roommate worked for a company that assembled them, so we had one as soon as they were available - ginormous single floppy and all. It was fascinating.

I have more common knowledge than most of the people there I talk to. They try to sound intelligent, and maybe are, but seem really lacking in the basic computer and product knowledge areas. Don't they train them on anything but the registers?
