The whole thread sounds like mass boycott kind of advices from various members...

I have been to Machines in Midvalley once. The staff seem not to be interested in selling any of the products.. just loitering around, dont attend customers or never have proper knowledge of MAC products...

IMO. I had good shopping experience at Epi center and Switch...(mines)

Epi center charges 10 bucks for applying screen protector for ipads & mac books...

Actually screen protectors should be applied by customers... There is no statement saying that they are compulsory to apply them for you as they are just selling SP... So it all depends on the person at that time.. If he is willing to do for you then you are lucky if not they have no obligations to do it...

@yuvanesh,
Huh?! Er.. well I've sent my iPhones for screen protector sticking at Machines a couple of times and they were very obliging.  I figured they do it more often than me so they should be able to do it more "professionally". 

And mind u.. I didn't make the purchase of the iPhones with them

@keyven
your question answered?
not to say boycott... just sharing our experiences.

@yuvanesh,
I never been to KLCC but well maybe those in KLCC have a different mindset.  Many years ago, I walked into KLCC dressed in t-shirt + torn shorts (jeans material).  I walked into a boutique [and it's not like it's Hugo Boss or something!] and the salesperson just gave me the "Don't-U-dare-touch-the-clothes-cause-u-won't-b-able-to-afford-them" kinda look.

Subsequently I walked off and related the story to a rich friend.  He apparently brought his group of friends to the same store, got everyone to try on everything and walked out without buying a single thing! And the salesperson was very kind and nice to them because they each had their personal bodyguards with them. WTH...

@nokia2003,
When U decide to put on the tiny skirt, let me know so I can get my camera ready

Answer is Ok... looks like plenty have bad experience with Machines fellas....
As Apple has online stores in Malaysia. what big discount you are going to get in Machines than some cheapstake accessories which you can buy from LYN forum than shops...

Well isnt that more like informing and sharing whats already, readily available on machines.com.my? By your logic wouldnt those people who post in this thread http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1050986&hl= also fall under staffs of different resellers? I'm not in any way defending any resellers, but at times people here seem to think that they could get away with anything under the guise of "Customer Service", not far back i read this one thread by a guy who expects salesperson to bend over their backs for him,sense of entitlement elevated to extremity its just scary maybe dvlzplayground might remember.
NO no dude, aiyo read my comment and digest it in its entirety im saying that for a product that hasnt been launched in Malaysia = equates to salesperson unable to stick screen protectors for them. Even if they charge you RM10 no pointlah since they dont have skill. Well as for slacking salesperson, i believe in every resellers there is a complaint method? just get the names in their tags and as tarvalslain87 said complain or dont visit the store at all. I have abandon Mac Stores for my needs since the introduction of Online store and of course for everything else theres my personal favorite ebay.

offense? nah its all good mate
