Ipad only for sale if paid with credit or debit but not in cash.

As loyal readers know, Apple stores are not particularly cash-friendly; in the case of the iPhone and the iPad, they're downright cash-hostile. Both devices require a credit or debit card for purchase, although you can waltz down the block and buy an iPad with cash at Best Buy if you like (and you can use a gift card for iPhone, but not for iPad).

There are some points on Apple's side for the pay-with-plastic requirement (the primary one being that it's hard to enforce the two-per-person purchase limit without some way to track buyers), but it's clear that the rule is a source of annoyance to some potential customers. Now the annoyance is getting magnified.

Irony.... A company claiming to be against a possible police state.


"A policy made to enforce a two-per-person purchase limit"

Yea right..
A: Wich profit driven company limits sales?
B: Why would they want to register and keep track off the owners(1984)?
