Top 5 Reasons to Wear a Name Tag
5. Your Inner-Anthropologist will be very happy!
Breaking down invisible walls and challenging social norms will be enjoyable – just ask your rebel-within. A day filled with people greeting you by name will renew your faith in humanity.
4. You’ll feel like a celebrity!
(sans the annoying paparazzi)
With everyone who crosses your path using your name, it won’t be long before you feel famous. If you’re asked for an autograph – I say go with it.
3. You’ll save time at Starbucks!
Wearing a name tag will save time not only for the barista (who would ordinarily ask your name even if you’ve been a regular for seven years) but also for everyone behind you in line. Additionally, if every customer of every Starbucks wears a name tag on September 3rd, perhaps Starbucks management will finally get the message that their employees should also be wearing name tags. One can only hope.
2. It’s easier than a 10k walk!
It’s also easier than running a marathon or gathering signatures or writing a letter or falling out of bed for that matter. There just aren’t many easier ways to bring about a little social improvement.
1. You’ll change the world!
Yes, I’ve heard from one or two sayers-of-nay that wearing a name tag probably won’t change the world – but I deg to biffer. What is the world other than what we experience on a day to day basis? If that experience is improved even for one moment through a small connection with another human being, then the world most certainly has changed.
It’s simple. It’s easy. On Saturday, September 3rd, just wear a name tag – and go about your day. Wherever you go, you’ll leave a better world in your wake.
