I wonder who decided that selling iPods in Macy’s was a good idea. Talk about an impulse buy.
“Lets see, I’ve just bought a bunch of new clothes, make-up, and a nice smelling perfume… Oh heck, may as well grab an expensive electronic device too.”
ALSO, If you buy an iPod from one of those vending machines, who do you go to if you open the box and the thing flat out doesn’t work, or if you just want to return it and get your money back? Do you take it back to Macy’s or do you have to contact the folks that own the vending machines?
