					<description>Interestingly enough, the Apple Store in San Francisco has tons of Shuffles, on display, but I don't know about the stock of the product.  I will find that out today.</description>

					<description>I understand your frustration from a consumer point of view, but sending a lot of marketing material ahead of the announcement would create a huge potential leak.

I think the stuff is in the mail :)</description>

					<description>Zach,

Yeah I wouldn't have been suprised if this were a tiny apple store in the middle of nowhere, but the Tysons store was in the first batch of openings IIRC.  I suppose that if they had them at the counter and they're gone then that' okay, but it's the freaking apple store, keep a few for people to play with and be psyched about.

I'm sure that tomorrow or saturday they'll probably change the layout to welcome in the mini, and hopefully the shuffle in the process.

You're also right about the consistancy of Apple Store employees.  Most are awesome, but not everyone is as good as you might expect.</description>

					<description>It would seem that if the local Apple Store was sold out of shuffles, then it is indeed the place to get them.

I walked over to my local store a mere two days after stevenote and they had a whole bunch of 512mb shuffles at POS ( they were sold out of the 1gb ).

My experience has been however, that while Apple as a company maintains a pretty high standard of excellence from store-to-store, they are not all created equal.  Some have better managers, better staff, or frankly just get the cool stuff before the rest of the stores.</description>

					<description>The story at the Apple store here in Cleveland is much the same.  None of the new stuff in stock.  They had one iPod Shuffle that one employee (who was busy selling someone an iBook) was carrying in his pocket.  That's it.  No display.  No literature.  Nothing.

Very disappointing.</description>
