Take it to the idiot shop

I took my MacBook to a local repair shop this morning. Support your local business and all that.

The man behind the counter said he didn't fix Macs and to take it to the "idiot shop". I said "I'm sorry what do you mean?" He said you know the apple shop, the IDIOT SHOP (he said that bit really slowly like he was talking to someone a bit hard of thinking Hmm)

AIBU to think he's a bloody twat and possibly leave him a shitty Facebook review?!

YANBU and Yes, do it.

Some people just really -really- hate Apple.

I would have laughed, TBH, I don't really think it was rude. Yabu

YABU & a bit over sensitive

He was responding to the fact that Apple techs refer to themselves as 'Geniuses' but he over egged the joke by repeating it when you didn't get it and was rude in my opinion.

So the IT tech at your local computer repair shop couldn't fix your Mac, but he referred to Apple as idiots... OK.

I wouldn't leave a scathing review, but I would say something like 'Took my Mac here, was told in no uncertain terms that they don't repair Macs, so don't waste your time!'
