Unlike another list member's experience, I have been pleased with the personnel and service at the Fashion Valley (San Diego) Apple Store. I've visited a few times and made modest purchases each time (software, external drive etc). The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful in every way. My only "complaint" would be they were too busy to check people out as quickly as I would have liked. No experience with the store Genius.
