Shouldn't they have better things to do?

The geniuses, that is?

You don’t need to call it that. Just like I ask for a large coffee at Starbucks.

customers should be able to challenge an apple genius to a battle of wits

That happens by default if the customer even has a basic understanding of computers.

Ugh i really hate going in there anymore. No real help for slightly legacy products they just buzz around you and your low priorities and eventually send you off knowing you have no interest in a $1000 upgrade. It cuts deep
