Working People's Name Tags

[Lost]

I know this guy that looks at peoples name tags wherever theyre working (grocery, movie counter) and says them...

what do you think about this?
do you think it would be awkward or good?
do any of you use it?

???ok i guess??? never had to use it, it sounds like your over analysing things who cares if you look at the name tags or not, just go and ask them for there name anyway, dont think of things so much otherwise your going to come off as very unnatural as if you've rehearsed what you wanna say to people, forget it all and just go and talk to people

The nametags are there for a reason.

I dont understand what you are asking.

it weirds me out when people call my my name becuase of my name tag... unless they are another co worker...

Yea me too... Having people I've never met before call me by my christian name is a little off putting.

Sometimes me and my friend swap our badges, the amount of people who I thought knew me use the name on the badge without hesitation is huge

My nametag at work says "mack daddy"

LOL

Hehe I know what you mean Lost, my dad does this all the time on the cashiers.

The ugly ones almost cream their pants because a good looking guy like my dad (passed down to me of course ) is talking to them.

As for the younger cashiers, pretty much ALWAYS very receptive, bearing big smiles and blushing

Seems to work good, as I've read that girls love to hear their names being said.

I think its funny. I wanna start doing that cause it somewhat sounds humorus.

They're right, sounds like your coming on too strong, if you want to talk to them, strike up a conversation. Dont analyse what her wearing a "necklace" might mean.

yeah, to look professional.

I can tell you from personal experience and from what I hear from female friends of mine that it is awkward when a stranger calls you by your first name, despite the tag's purpose. Don't check out the tag.

Well.....

However, if you are a GOOD LOOKING stranger then you'll probably make a good impression on her, or at least make her think "WOW he said my name OMG he's so hot." LOL

Why is it strange for a customer to use your name from the nametage while speaking about the thing you are selling? That IS what it is there for.
