Recent Washington City Paper and Gizmodo articles claim the DMV’s beloved Apple stores are less a family of loving technology geniuses than one of mercenary techies, where to work at Montgomery Mall is apparently to be exiled to a desert of shame. The City Paper based its account off an anonymous ex-employee's email to Gizmodo, revealing “DMV Apple stores are like a high-tech Glengarry Glen Ross, with a bit of Man in the Iron Mask thrown in." According to the articles, the Georgetown store reigns supreme, constantly shattering business records.

That Apple Store on Bethesda Row always appears to be jam-packed with customers—or gawkers—checking out the latest technological marvel. That's especially true these days, with the new Apple iPhone 4S and the new iPad both hitting the market. Two dozen or so people were lined up outside the store early Friday morning, March 16, the day the iPad was to be released. But all these new gizmos can be more than slightly overwhelming for those of us still struggling with the intricacies of email. Whether it's the circular and exasperating answering machines run by many 'public service' companies (like Verizon or Pepco), completely inaccurate driving instructions offered in various global positioning systems in cars or the barrage of useless …
