Apple Store The Domain: Your reports
Apple Store The Domain, Texas' newest location, opened a day early on Thursday (what they call a "soft opening" in the biz). It's a 45' store with no cash registers. Shoppers check out with any employee holding the requisite handheld device (which we've seen at other locations). How convenient.As usual, we've asked any TUAW operatives who may visit the store this weekend to share their reports and/or pictures. So, did you go, and if you did, how was it? Let us know in the comments. Here's hoping you scored a T-shirt.
While you're there, show your love and set the display Macs internet homepages to TUAW!

It's a very nice store and fortunately there were plenty of t-shirts to go around.
@13: I was a Genius for 4 years. I think the Sales/Specialist position is the best one in the store. Much less pressure, a lot more circulating, meeting more people in more pleasant situations, and etc.
Of course, pay's not as good. But even so...
A friend of mine is actually a manager there, I was considering a possible genius position. I imagine it would be rather fun, rather than working the store floor.

here's my flickr set.. only the first 6 are Apple-related. I'll be damned if I'm organizing my flickr stuff after 8+ hours of driving today! :)
WooHoo! Can't wait for the Greenville, SC store to open sometime this year.

Nice looking store. And it's SO CLOSE. I hated driving down to Barton Creek. As each cluster of customers would walk in, the store employees would cheer. It was fun. A little weird, but fun.
Which I had brought my camera.
I was there and posted a short report, photos and video on my blog:
