Apple Mac & Cheese Sales

Today I was daydreaming on the Apple.com website and I noticed that there was a "Chat Now" button that would make my life less lonely...

You are chatting with Richard K, an Apple Expert

Hi, my name is Richard K. Welcome to Apple!

Richard K: How may I help you today?

Me: Hi Richard, how are you?

Richard K: I am doing great. How about you?

Me: I'm pretty good. I just ate 3 taquitos. They were sooo good!

Me: You should try them. I got them at Costco

Me: have you ever been there?

Richard K: Awesome.

Richard K: Yes I have.

Me: they have some good deals there

Richard K: Great

Richard K: How may I help you today?

Me: Oh, just browsing. I thought I could use someone to talk to so I don't get too bored!

Me: Do you ever go to Digg.com?

Richard K: This chat is designed to assist Apple customers with product related questions.

Me: oh, I just saw the "Chat Now" button and I thought it meant that I could have someone to just chat with while I browse

Me: Usually I talk to my friend, Beth, but she's with her stupid boyfriend right now : [

Richard K: This mainly to assist our customers with any product related questions. It is not a personal chat service.

Me: Do you have an iPhone?

Richard K: Yes.

Me: Awsome.

Me: Can you trade stocks with it?

Richard K: No you can't but you can check how they are doing.

Me: What about recipes? I always forget the instructions of how to make Macaroni and Cheese...'

Richard K: You can surf the web with the built in web browser for recipes.

Me: Can you give me an example of how fast it can find a recipe for macaroni and cheese?

Richard K: The speed is based on the connection.

Me: Oh. How fast is the connection?

Richard K: You will be using the EDGE network or a Wi-Fi hotspot connection.

Richard K: The EDGE is as fast or a little faster than 56K.

Me: Why is it called "EDGE"?

Richard K: A Wi-Fi hotspot is like a DSL connection.

Me: Look Richard, I'm sick of you beating around the bush about this recipe thing. How fast can I get directions on how to make Kraft Cheese and Macaroni?

Richard K: it is an acronym for Enhanced Data for GSM Evolution.

Richard K: You can get it once you find the recipe on a website.

Me: What website can I get it from?

Me: My cheese is burning! I have to go!

Richard K: You can do a google search for it. That is not something I provide service for.

Thank you for contacting the Apple Store. If you require further assistance, please call 1-800-MY-APPLE.

Me: Oops! It was just my goldfish, Latisha. The Mac and Cheese isn't burnt, but it's really lemony for some reason.
