When I got to the rep and explained I was a business account and wanted to upgrade, I was told that they were sold out of the new phones and that I could order one.
Now, it is possible that the father/son may have pre-ordered, but gathering from their conversation with the sales rep, it didn't appear that way to me.
To make matters worse, I was just at the Apple Store where they had additional phones for purchase and had one for me. But because my phone is on a business plan, Apple cannot sell it to me and I am forced to go to an ATT store. I won't go into a rant on my disgust with ATTs service, but to be forced to only purchase a phone through them and (once again) they were not bright enough to order enough phones on the launch weekend, is just adding to my disgust with this cell carrier.

Not sure how that is similar. You may be making assumptions (and you know what they say about those....). It is possible they pre-ordered. It's also possible that they purchased the last two. If you saw someone purchase after you, then that would be different. And even then, you can't tell for sure or your story would have been different.
