I have a Best Buy and a Staples locally and they were worlds apart in how they were selling the Surface. Best Buy was a joke. It took me quite a while to find the Surface and when I did, it was kind of just sitting there in between a couple of other tablets with nothing letting you know it was a new product.
Staples had the Surface set up with it's own table and display. At the table were the accessories (touch pad, type pads, etc.). The Surface on the display had the touch cover attached so you could try it out (I practiced on it a couple of times before making the purchase)....and yes, the employees seemed to know something about the Surface. I know that Best Buy is the "big boy" chain when it comes to selling electronics, but perhaps some of the other chains like Office Max or Office Depot would have done a better job of marketing the Surface to their in store customers. Staples certainly did a good job at it! Just my two cents.
