And FYI, you don't buy things from the Geniuses. The Specialists take care of sales; they are the ones who show a big range in technical competencies because they don't go through the extensive training and certification that the Geniuses do.

Seriously, this the one thing that truly I hate about Apple. Your Genii aren't. They're kids too cool for geek-squad, but just as incompetent.

The Genii had DARK orange shirts which they only wear the days they are not to be disturbed. The Rest of the store from Jan 1 until April 28 wore dark blue shirts that said nothing and only had the apple logo and position on the left arm. More to the point, only the Genius and Creatives had their title on the left arm. The Concierges had to wear these blinding, ugly blue shirts with our cutesy "I'm here to Help" on the front and the 3 squares with the Genius, Personal Shop and Personal Training Logos on the back. So no, the shirts WEREN'T the same colours. It seems like people are so hard core up for pissing on us they don't actually pay attention to the people who are nice, the people who know what they are talking about, the people who will bend over backwards to help ypu do everything from buy a computer or reset your iPod. So now are shirts are Concierge: Duck Hunting Orange, Specialist and Manager: Former disgusting Neon Blue, Creative, Genii and Business: Dark Blue, ICS: Black And no, I am not thrilled to look like a God Damned safety cone.

Apple just swapped the colors around and made them "official."

Woodland got the new shirts Sunday night just like (nearly) everybody else. The collars on the Business Partner shirts are a good, overdue move... the rest of the wardrobe changes are a minor refinement that better delineates how "visible" the various positions are supposed to be.

We had "Addicted to Love" going on with each leader from the team dressed up in the new shirts. Each person (whether male or female) had lipstick on and make-up. It was actually pretty funny!! I was hoping we would get Rick Roll'd... LOL. Actually, we got different music at our store. We had “Addicted to Love” going on with each leader from the team dressed up in the new shirts.
