Failing that, if you are paying by card, and can find a member of staff, they normally have access to a wireless card terminal. I will say that in my experience (I've been in the Regent Street, Covent Garden and various local Apple stores), Apple stores usually have a lot more staff than competing stores (although they do tend to be a lot busier as well).
I know, it's a great idea if you have an iPhone but if you don't have one it can be a bit discouraging if you just want to pop in for something on the off-chance. I've always bought via accosting a member of staff but trying to find someone who isn't occupied by tyre kickers can be a challenge in the busy stores like Trafford Centre.

I like the look of this new machine though. I have the iPad3 with 3G and it's a pretty heavy beast so, if ever there was a reason to replace then this is it.
