I went here about a month ago after the release of the Motorola Xoom WiFi Model. I have been weighing options of tablets for quite some time and with much research I decided to get a Xoom. When I went to the section of the store that had it on display, a young man with facial hair walked up and offered his assistance. I told him I was there to check out the new Xoom, and that I was thinking of buying one soon. What happened afterward baffled me, beyond all logic. This employee went on and on on how Android is not ready for the limelight yet, and that the iPad is far superior. Not only was he incorrect on many attributes that he claimed made Honeycomb a poor OS, he stated that he really loved all things Apple, and unfortunately they did not carry any of the Apple products there. I let him him know that I owned both the iPhone and an Android phone in the past and that i liked the fact that Android lets you run Flash , where as iOS does not. His reply is that Flash will not be around much longer. I find it hilarious that their employee actively made it a point to not sell me the tablet that I wanted, and I will gladly oblige them by buying it on Amazon. I come from a long line of retail and electronics sales (Good Guys Electronics) and that is no way to operate a business, by talking someone out of the very thing they wanted to buy, especially when it comes to a luxury item. I will never shop at Staples again, and they can press that little ""That was easy"" button all the way to Bankruptcy...
