There is a bunch of associates around the store. You just have to walk up to them, hand them your debit/cc and they swipe it with their little hand held device. And they can either print and/or email your reciept. I had them email my reciept - no paper waste here. Did feel wierd walking out of the store w/out a bag and reciept. But I could get used to it. Everytime I have been to the store, it has been swamped. So, it made for convenience. I think its just one step up completely digitalizing our finances. Gonna happen sooner or later.

And at first, I thought the same thing about the two-iPad limit, but I'm going to assume that the credit card requirement allows Apple to track suspect activity (buying two at a time at a number of stores could raise a red flag). So then it becomes a privacy issue, I suppose. @Red: I haven’t shopped in an Apple store more than once or twice (browsing, actually), so I didn’t know the salespeople had the scanners ON them.

I know the Apple employees carry card scanners around their necks so if you want to pay with cash in the store you have to go through the hassle of finding the actual register and paying. (I still don't know where the register is in our local store. I just always use my card.) But to not allow cash at all for one item? Bogus! Since they have a limit of two iPad purchases per costumer, how could someone "buy a bunch and sell them overseas?" Crazy! How bizarre!
