This is a great story, true or not take your time in reading this as this is very very entertaining. We have all been to the mall at some point to kill some time just like this gentleman and i’m sure everyone has been to the apple store to kill some time but until now I haven’t heard of such a thing so enjoy guys. Thanks to @hotrod1964 for sharing his story.
@SebastienPage  tweeting 2U since U have so many followers.Feel free 2 RT my experience.  Went to local APP STORE about 2 weeks ago. For nothing other then I was  in the area and had an hour to kill. Figured I’d browse around.  Obviously, they were very polite and a salesperson approached me to see  if I needed some help (store was not busy at all). Told him “Nope, just  browisng”. Being that they were not busy he starts asking me what type  of comp I have, what kind of phone and etc…When I told him I dont have  an iphone he asked why and if I was interested in 1 . I explained why and told him I am  not interested due to apples unwillingness to allow owners to ‘do their  own thing’ and that I have no intention of paying for an iphone if apple  is going to handcuff me….he kept going on and on about what I was  missing out on……I then told him I was more then happy with my new droid  and I was more then happy with my Itouch. he said “Oh, so you do have an  iTouch then?” I said yep and pulled it out. Flipped the case open and  hit the home button and he saw my lockscreen, which is the Grateful Dead  with some other ‘goodies’ on there. he sort of stepped back and his  eyes popped wide. he asked if he could look at it..I would NOT hand it  to him, but what the hell, it is my device so screw em….I slid the  lockscreen to access the device and very obviously (i’m sure he knew as  soon as he saw my lockscreen) at first look he knew it was JB’d. he  didnt say anything other then going sort of quiet and saying “wow”……He  walked away…..I was then approached by the manager. He said ” I was  informed you have an ILLEGAL iTouch”…..I replied “I do have an iTouch  but that it was not ILLEGAL”. he then asked if it was ‘modified’…..I  said ( and happily I may add) “Yep, it IS MODIFIED…You should get one  yourself as you dont know what you are missing out on”….he then said  “Sir, that is an ILLEGAL device”….I said “Your NUTS….It is my device I  paid for. I own it and can do anything I damn well please with it”…..he  then said “Sir, the device you have IS illegal….I must now ask you to  turn over the ILLEGAL device at once”. I responded and said “Dude, your  nuts, it is not illegal and if you think I am giving it to you, I have a  bridge in the sahara desert I’d like to sell you”….he then said “sir,  if you refuse to turn over your ILLEGAL device I must have a copy of  your drivers license”……I said ” Dude, you really are nuts..your not  taking my itouch and you have no right to ask for my DL”..he then said I  had to either give him my itouch or my DL or he will contact  security…LOL..Oh boy..the MALL POLICE!!!…..I told him “go right  ahead..I’ll make myself comfy and wait”…..Instead of the MALL  POLICE..and actual Police Officer came….They spoke to the manager..then  came to me…..I told them I am breaking no laws and there is no way in  hell anybody is taking my itouch unless the COURTS order me to turn it  over…I said..here is my info…take me to court…..Otherwise, get off my  friggin back or I will sue apple and file complaints against you as just  because you have a badge does NOT give you the right to detain me or  ask me to give you my personal possessions unless you can tell me WHAT  LAW I AM BREAKING…..They walked away…..talked to the manager…came back  and said “sorry for the inconvenience. You have a pleasant day”……and I  left………Anyway, just thought I’d share this since I see others posting  about geting banned from their stores and etc, and I want to make sure  everybody knows..DO NOT LET THEM CON YOU INTO GIVING UP YOUR DEVICE…some  are intimidated by the authorities so may give up their device out of  ‘fear’….DONT DO IT…..Tell them to explain what law you are breaking and  to either arrest you or get F*cked…do not let them CON you into giving  up YOUR PERSONAL iphone/itouch!!!!!
