Apple Retail Dojo
It’s not clear to me what the different colors of t-shirt on the Apple retail employees signify and it’s no clearer in this image from the newly redesigned Apple retail site, but I’m guessing that each color of shirt identifies a level of expertise much like belts in karate. In which case, the guy on the left is a white belt with rubberchucks and is authorized to sell you earbuds, the girl on the right is straight-up sensei and can defrag your boot cache and the guy next to her has a faux-hawk.
If you know what the shirts mean, let me know, I guess.
UPDATE: A lot of people have responded and the consensus seems to be that no one actually knows what the colors mean. Completely arbitrary and random. So I’ll assume Apple is using its retail outlets as a front for amassing a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude.
UPDATE UPDATE: No, I was wrong. The answer is here. Thanks, Nick and Evan and everyone else. You have my gratitude.
