My problem with my MacBook/Lion/Apple has gone from bad to good to worse as I've ended up getting myself banned from the local apple store.

Long story.....

I got a freephone for apple and I called them and having explained the situation three times to three different people they agreed to replace the speaker FOC. As I was going in to town anyway I popped by the apple store to let them know that After Care had authorised the repair so they could order the part and so I could make an appointment where they would have my MacBook for the least amount of time.

Some time ago I was in with another issue and Scott (a genius) accused me of lying. I didn't say anything but left and took my MacBook to Glasgow where they believed me and they got to the bottom of the problem. Asked why I was in Glasgow when there was a store in Aberdeen I told them what had happened and they urged me to put in a complaint. However I decided to leave it as I knew I would get one over on Scott one way or another at a later date. Anyway, last Friday when my troubles started I popped in and spoke to the head genius who I get on well with and he suggested several things to try and if they didn't work to make an appointment he would have a look at it for me. I tried all the options given to me and as a last resort I formatted the hard drive and installed Snow Leopard from scratch then downloading the necessary updates to download Lion. I installed Lion and then put everything back onto laptop and the issue was still there. Yesterday I made an appointment at the genius bar only to find out that Scott was the only Genius available for MacBooks and Macs. I said to the floor manager that I had a problem with a Scott and would rather leave it until the head genius was in. He asked what the problem was and I explained and he told me to go for a wander round the store as I was a bit early. I say him speaking to Scott and Scott glanced over to me and gave me a dirty look. Anyway, appointment time and I explained the problem to him about the music skipping at high volume when Safari struggled to load a page. Despite out best efforts we couldn't get the problem to replicate itself in the store but I noticed that their WiFi was very fast and Safari didn't struggle so of course the problem was not going to appear. Scott wouldn't go any further because he couldn't see it happening. I advised him that there was nothing to see apart from the status bar for the song pausing for a split second the the music jumping. I asked him what he would do if he actually saw it for himself and he said "run some diagnostics". I informed him that I hand't trailed into town for the good of my health and could he run the diagnostics anyway but he refused point blank and sent me on my way. I was not happy about this as the head genius had said that this is what would be done if I made an appointment. So I went home, turned on my laptop and turned up the volume whilst I was in the kitchen. I forgot that I had a page open that refreshes every few minutes and the most troublesome song that skips came on and was so bad you couldn't actually tell it was a song. On my way to the laptop I heard the left speaker clicking and popping and as I got there I heard a loud pop and it died. So, another genius bar appointment today to find out how much a new speaker would be but before making an appointment I phoned up to enquire who was doing the Mac appointments and I was informed that Scott and another chap was doing them. I said "make me an appointment then and not with Scott as I'll have the tit by the throat". Asked what the problem was with Scott and I explained and the person on the phone said "yeah, he's not most peoples cup of tea". I then said "just because he has his own apple business card with the job title "Genius" on it does make him a genius and someone should tell the jumped up little twerp that. Off I toddled for my appointment and the minute I walked in Scott set eyes on me and gave me dirty looks while I walked from the entrance all the way to the genius bar. I explained to the genius what had happened and pointed to Scott and said "that !!!! down there is useless, perhaps if he had done his job properly yesterday I wouldn't have a popped speaker now" at the top of my voice so Scott could hear me. He heard this and his head went down before doing a bunk. This is when he gave me the number to call to take it up with apple and when I went back to the store to arrange the appointment. When I went in I approached one of the guys and explained what I was after and he said "you will need to speak to Scott" "absolutely not" I said and he went and got the manager Sally who then went and placed the order for the part, came back and started having a go at me for calling Scott a !!!! earlier in the day. Again I pointed out that perhaps if he had not accused me of being a liar months previously, being horribly blunt and rude and did his job properly yesterday then maybe I wouldn't have a blown speaker and I wouldn't be calling the !!!! a !!!!. "I'm not talking to you about his Customer Service skills, I'm talking to you about your language and the safety of my staff and if you continue then you will be banned from the store" "Do you think I give a !!!! love? I can always go to Glasgow" "that's the kind of language I'm talking about now get out". I told her Scott could do with some lessons in manners and Customer Relations as I walked away. Half way down the shop I turned round and shouted "see that part you ordered, wire the !!!!er up and shove it up your fat !!!!ing lard !!!! as it's the only thrill you'll ever get".
