Resetting an Apple password is fucking impossible. I have to wait for them to determine when, and if, I can reset my password. This is all because I haven't logged in to an Apple account in years and they sent a verification code or something to an iPhone I haven't had since 2016! What the fuck?

My god is this fucking stupid. The new Willoughby Hills store is a few blocks from me. There are two others within 10m from this one that are shit. One is disgustingly filthy, the other only takes online orders d/t ongoing staffing issues. Why will this one succeed? www.cleveland.com/entertainmen...
