I used to work at a bank as well...it was a smaller branch, with nearly the same people coming in every day. I'd greet the friendly ones by name, the standoffish ones, not so much. I'm also more likely to appreciate the tellers knowing my name at a bank--after all, they're taking care of my money, and they have all my info already (social, license number, address, phone number, etc.)

We don't have to wear a nametag at Ruby's, which I like. Every other serving job, though, I had to wear one. I didn't mind so much unless someone OVERused my name: "Cinn, can I get some more water? Thanks, Cinn." I also had a nickname on my nametag for a couple days...I realized quickly that people I'd never met using such a familiar form of my name made me intensely uncomfortable, and I changed back to my full name after a couple shifts.
