My Name? Hang on I'll look at my badge.

I don't think that it does improve customer service particularly Cinders. I have mine because it shows that I am part of the staff instead of one of the zillion other guides that wander about.

LOL. You know when tours come through, the visitors, especially from the US and Australia often wear name badges. I can see it now. "Morning Mrs Smith. I see that you're walking odd. Anusol is in the medicines dept". Just imagine!!!

I wear a t-shirt with the supermarkets name on the back so they know I work there, also its a small supermarket so most of our customers are regular so they know my face. Why do they need to know my name aswell?? Maybe I should ask them their names.

Oops! Congrats on the badge...

Well, I am tickled pink that you finally got it. As long as you bath regularly I am sure the boss won't be tempted to chase you around the room with a perfume bottle..

Thank you Becky. It says that I mustn't spray perfume on it! LOL.

LOL. I think that I shall be tempted to say "No, I don't work here. I just like to pretend that I do"!

LOL I usually answer to anything, most frequently called mum but haven't got a badge for that one xx

Shall I call you Mum then Ellie? In which case. Where's my pocket money?!! LOL.

As it's gone 5pm I'd better call you "Bubbles" Ellie. Er, Bubbles, LOL. XXX

That's what I think Mom. However, If you do a bad job they might report you, and do a good one and they forget who the heck you are.

lol.

Oh, how RUDE of me! Congratulations on your own new name tag as well. It must be a decent size too with "Mister P1kef1sh" emblazoned across it, so you be careful not to strain anything.

And here I am after all this time thinking that it was only a pseudonym! Oh how the rich tapestry that is the TRUTH unveils itself over time..... It's a pleasure to finally make the acquaintance of the real you Richard! Pray tell, how is the little cranium then?

Did I tell you that my real name is "Richard Cranium"?!

Yeah,....ouch!! This was before the days of stalking being a crime. The cops told me how to handle the calls. They stopped.

How horrible. That must have been very frightening. That's not fun, that's bullying and harassment. He deserved a hot iron to be applied to his bits. That'd give him something to think about.

Who gets you in trouble p1ke? Lemme at em - I will sort em out! hugs xxx

I seem to be permanently in trouble here Mummymo. I sometimes think that people do it to me on purpose! LOL. XXXX

Sheesh. Like being on a permanent tour. I'd be so tempted to mess with one and put Mickey Mouse on or something.

Did I see you in the slideshow? The guy with the green necklace next to the cheerful lady in blue who seemed to have a shell glued to her ear?

i like that little story pike,i wish i could get away with things like that,we have a lot of feely touchy patients around,and it would be good to give it to them back.lol.cheers sue

That reminds me of a story told to me by an Irish nurse - in Ireland. A spanish fisherman had an accident on a fishing vessel and was brought in for treatment. He required an injection in the backside. He had a severe case of wandering hand trouble and the nurses were more than a little tired of him. The lady that I spoke to went and found the largest syringe and needle that she could. The sort of thing that you might use on an elephant (not the too many of those get into Irish hospitals I suppose). She told the man to drop his trousers and proceeded to fill the syringe from a jug of water. He was absolutely petrified. She went behind him, switched syringes and the big pr1ck received a little pr1ck, but screamed anyway!

That's the trick. Wear your purple dress and the guard will swoon.

Somehow I don't think so but I guess I won't know until I try.... Then again, the particular purple dress I'm thinking of is hot. One day I might actually even fit into it again...

I used to have to wear ID phtobadges when I worked. They got checked quite frequently. Sometimes I used to think about putting Mickey Mouse over my photo and see how long it would take for anyone to notice!

When i worked at the local high school i had to have a photo id and wear it at all times...i think i still have it somewhere...lol. Where i work now its kind of pointless because i work at a company that supplies home health support for those with various disabilities...to help them be more able to live independently. So there are only a few people who work in the office and all the other hundred some odd people work in various homes. I dont even know half of my fellow employees and only meeting the few i do when i have to go in to update my training. I think the only reason we have the work id cards is because it has our clock in numbers on them.

I am a tourist guide Bhanusb.

That's fine.

my name tags were also my door keys after a while - you know, you swipe them and stuff

Me too when I worked for the Government. Several in fact.

Having done some mystery shopping myself I know that name badges are one of the things that we are asked to look out for. In fact, the name of the person that served you is usually something that has to be provided if you want to be paid.

Mine is for my Cathedral work. I always used to have to wear a photo badge when I was working. Sometimes two or three at once!

Sounds good. When I lived in Canterbury I used to love going around the cathedral there. If you were wearing two or three badges, I hope they were all saying the same thing, lol! Could lead to all sorts of problems..

My main fear is that someone from myLot might come to the Cathedral and recognise my real name Tamara! XXXX

Hi p1key, But wouldn't that be great for you? or you would just rather not see want to be known. Why not? Hugs. Tamara xxxx

That's how I shall wear mine Bo. Upside down!

*L* Go for it. Customers used to ask me if I did it so that I could remember my name. I always told them yes.

I did think of having my shortened name on it. As that's what I prefer to be called. But decided against it. Trouble is, only my mum uses my full name, and then only when I'm in hot water!

I know what you mean there by your mum calling you by your full name, Christian name, middle name and surname then you know you are really in trouble.LOL My mum's name is Christine and she hates it when everyone calls her Chris even her own mother does it!!
