Genius Bar Recommendation Not So Genius

I was at the Apple Store a couple of days ago getting my iPod repaired. Done deal in 15minutes (great!). So I thought I woulld ask if they carried the protection pack that safeguards your laptop from hand/oil wrist wear-and-tear. The "Genius" tells me that they do not carry such a thing and suggested I got to JandR as they have what I'm looking for... Well fast-forward to today. I go to JandR only to find that they do not carry anything close to what I was looking for. Thanks "Genius" for the 45minute wild goose chase...
