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.

When I was younger I was a server at a place that was popular at bar rush, Beth's café home of the 12 egg omelet. We didn't wear name tags either, although most of the customers knew me by name. The late nighters were more of a biker rough and tumble sort, or drunk from stumbling in from the bar. The name they called me by was usually some form of baby, or honey, or sweet cheeks. I didn't let it bother me, simply because well it was bar rush, they were drunk, and if they had any money left at all they were usually pretty good tippers. I did however correct them when "hey baby" was followed by a proposal or a request to sit on their lap. That's when I reminded them I wasn't their baby, I was their server and could i get them some more coffee. :P
