I also doubt an ordinary floor rep has the ability to press a case like that to court. Lawyers aren't free.

  Would Best Buy really sue an ordinary floor rep, though?

    To intimidate all the other employees? I'd believe it. Companies do act similarly when they go after individuals or mom and pop stores for trademark infrigement

      Trademark infringement is a little different, because a company has to protect its mark to avoid losing it.

    They'd probably just write a threatening letter, and that would be enough for the Apple Store to fire the friend. Unless you're high enough in the food chain, a company would rather drop you than deal with the potential trouble (even if the threat is completely bogus).

    It's a company with $40bn revenue, you better believe they have a fleet of lawyers on retainer, they've got little reason to not make use of those lawyers.
