I'd call his manager! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple/page/2#post-1281799 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 15:32:28 +0000 luckypenny 1281799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MCD919: OK. DH was a genius at the apple Genius Bar and he said this would not have happened. </p> <p>They would have gone into your contacts and changed your name - if you have a contact for yourself set up. They have their own iPad where they may have made a note "big mama" to be able to recognize you but it wouldn't have ever been on your computer. </p> <p>Are you sure someone you know didn't change it from another one of your synced ICloud devices? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple/page/2#post-1281751 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 14:47:12 +0000 Crisark 1281751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @Arden: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple/page/2#post-1281730 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 14:17:04 +0000 birdofafeather 1281730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: agreed. completely unprofessional and horrible customer service. i would absolutely call and complain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple/page/2#post-1281723 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 14:14:06 +0000 woodentulip 1281723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go in. I would tell them face to face how hurtful that can be. Calling still gives you a bit of anonymity, but when they see the PERSON, that makes it real. No matter what the person's intent was, it is inappropriate, and they need to know that. </p> <p>I absolutely would have called myself big mama when pregnant...but NOBODY else got to!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple/page/2#post-1281712 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 14:02:45 +0000 Arden 1281712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would call. Not because I'd be offended, but because it's unprofessional and he needs a lesson. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple/page/2#post-1281709 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 13:58:33 +0000 LemonLong 1281709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I would be offended because I'm pregnant so that means I'm bigger around than normal and I am a momma! I'd let it go, unless you really were super offended by it, in which case then I'd call the manager of the store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple#post-1281688 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 13:33:40 +0000 Kimberlybee 1281688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go back up there and give them a rude awakening. It would take every ounce of me to refrain from cursing the mofo out of that punk!! I am very sensitive with my weight issues pregnant or not! LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple#post-1279782 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:19:44 +0000 MCD919 1279782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Panda: hahah I knew you ladies would make me feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple#post-1279692 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:52:27 +0000 Greentea 1279692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Panda: haha! Yeah. I agree.<br /> I would probably have dh call. That is horrible and unprofessional. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple#post-1279680 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:49:37 +0000 pl0508 1279680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably call the manager. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple#post-1279676 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:48:52 +0000 googly-eyes 1279676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know it's easier said than done but I would try not to be offended. Big as in bigger than usual, big as in bigger than the other pregnant lady in the store who is only five months, big as in pregnant, period...It doesn't mean you're big in general. I'm not defending his action, and for sure call the manager if you feel like it, but I just wouldn't dwell on it or let it take away from enjoying your pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple#post-1279656 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:44:44 +0000 mrs. bird 1279656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that's extremely unprofessional. a lot of people would feel uncomfortable with that &amp; i'm sure the manager would want to know about it. sorry that happened to you! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple#post-1279607 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:32:11 +0000 MrsH 1279607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be really annoyed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple#post-1279599 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:30:32 +0000 mrskc 1279599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So unprofessional!

Like, HELL NAH. I would call and complain to the manager. Tell him he sent you into Braxton-Hicks contractions. Punk ass. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple#post-1279580 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:26:58 +0000 petunia354 1279580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry! That is awful customer service. I would definitely be calling a manager or showing up in person to report the behavior. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple#post-1279568 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:25:01 +0000 HLK208 1279568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh, rude!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple#post-1279528 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:17:50 +0000 whodat 1279528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that's rude.

I would not be happy to see that or any weird description of myself... plus why is it still on your ipad?! I would definitely call and discuss with the manager. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple#post-1279238 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 10:09:50 +0000 ChitownRo 1279238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MCD919: agreed - so you probably should call the manager </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple#post-1279215 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 10:04:24 +0000 MCD919 1279215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChitownRo: That is interesting.... well the guy that helped me clearly didn't follow that protocol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple#post-1279213 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 10:03:45 +0000 mediagirl 1279213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The people who work at those Apple stores (for minimum wage, no less) think they are higher than thou. Complain. Immediately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple#post-1279206 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 10:00:56 +0000 LuLu Mom 1279206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Completely unprofessional!

I could tell that they put descriptions of the customers in the comments when checking in. So, I joked with the rep and asked if he was writing super pregnant chick. He very sincerely said that they have guidelines about how they can describe customers (clothing, hair color) but nothing about body shape. He seemed quite serious about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple#post-1279095 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 09:27:16 +0000 LindsayInNY 1279095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely call the store and ask to speak to the manager. Not the assistant manager, only the manager. Like others have said, what happens when the next time he *really* crosses the line? Supervisors need to know of that sort of conduct, whether he was trying to be funny or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/offended-by-apple#post-1279079 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 09:22:11 +0000 Ash 1279079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unprofessional.<br /> And I don't even think it's funny. </p>
