Yes. It’s part of the dress code.

Because I didn’t like the idea of customers having/knowing/saying my name, I’d write my name in Japanese and my manager never stopped me or said anything. You could always do that.

Or just use a nickname. That’s always allowed
misryth 3 points 9m ago
I use a shortened version of my middle name

My SM requires us to wear them but I have had multiple creepy customers be weird about it; using it as their name for drinks/food, trying to contact me outside of work, ask others if I'm there (like we're friends/family)

I have coworkers who have put fake names on their name tags. You just have to remember to answer to it.

Yes, but I use a fake name!

Same, and then I’d switch it up too, some days it’s complicated, other days it would be one letter. If the manager wasn’t around, I’d become a number

Damn in my Starbucks they dgaf I usually never wear mine only cuz I keep losing it lol and some of my coworkers don’t either

I have a coworker who will lose her sanity if you don't have your name tag and will nag you about it the rest for the shift. I can't stand her

i knew a partner who was really uncomfortable writing her real name on her tag, so she chose a different name for work. i’m not sure if this is technically allowed but my manager was ok with it

I’ve never worn one bc there so annoying to take on and off
Brooklynbubbles 1 points 9m ago
I stitched my name and many nicknames into my apron because i can not remember to wear a tag. Most of my coworkers write fake names haha
lilmissambersue 1 points 9m ago
Yessssss. I get talked to about it every time I don't wear one. I just lose the damn thing for a few days when I wash my aprons!
I'm not gonna be surprised if I eventually get written up for it lol
