Jason's brush with fame...and he didn't even know it!

Last Friday, when Jason was working at MacDocs, a customer came in who wanted a specific Apple product he had seen online. The product he was looking at was last year's model, and MacDocs only carried the new one. Jason explained that the store carried the new model, but it would be more expensive. The customer said he would need to check with his "label" and see if they would ok the price difference. After getting off the phone, this guy asked for directions to the Apple store, and Jason showed them how to get there. After he left, one of the service technicians came out from the back of the store and asked if he thought it was cool to talk to this guy. Jason was confused and asked if he should know who this guy was, and the service tech told him it was Ruben Studdard, who is in town for a production of "Ain't Misbehavin'". Jason, who has never seen an episode of American Idol (and never will), was still confused until his co-workers explained that he had won and was a recording artist. When Jason came home and told me the story, he was shocked that I knew who he was (since I am also not an American Idol fan). However, since I do live in Utah, and the happenings on American Idol are considered legitimate news in this state, I did know who he was, and thought it was cool that Jason met him. For the record (according to Jason) and just in case you wanted to know, Ruben Studdard is pretty nice and like to purchase Mac products.
