I vowed after getting a 4 last year never to go near an Apple store for launch again. I wanted a sim free iPhone and as it was reserved I thought i could just pitch up, pay & leave. No chance. People had been queuing for 5-6 hours and not made the front yet.
They need 2 lines, one for people who just want to buy the phone, no fuss & leave. And the other for first timers who need the 15 minutes (FIFTEEN ! FFS) to have the phone explained to them. Not having just 4 staff selling and 10 others stood around would help a great deal too ! I can understand having massive queues outside the store adds to the hype and the interest generated by photos in the press is all good, but not for the poor souls stood in the queue !
