@Tartarus, could you have scheduled an appointment via the Apple Store App on your phone? Since they weren't busy, I wonder if you could have gotten in that way?
I could have. I didn’t have time. I literally only had 5 minutes to spare to get in and out. Making appt on my phone would have taken 2 minutes. I didn’t feel like spending any time, as I was in a hurry and already frustrated because apparently it’s too much ask to find inkt cartridges for a 12y/o printer.
My brother asked me for my color printer, which I have not been using for years and put it somewhere in a closet.
As I looked in it, there was no cartridges in it. Heck, the whole idea of putting that thing away was because of the costly cartridges. I have a b&w laser printer now, much more cost effective.
Since my brother needed to print something real quick and we both didn’t feel like spending a lot of money for original cartridges ($75 in total) we were looking for some off brand cartridges. Which nobody carried anymore.
And I took my dads car, which he needed within the hour. So I was in a hurry.
