Where do you believe it is appropriate to place your work name badge? And, where do you place yours?

Over the left breast of your blouse/jacket. Where else would you put it?

Depending on which one I wear, it's either left breast pocket, or the obvious lanyard around neck. If it's an I.D badge, front right belt loop.

Mine's on the front right of my uniform top, front left of my body armor, front of my Kevlar (helmet), and back of my boonie cap. As for normal jobs, I've never had one where I needed to wear a nametag.

That's where I wear mine, when I wear it and that hasn't been for ages.

If you're left handed though, it should be on the right.

Normally I wear it around my neck on a lanyard, but sometimes I string the lanyard through a belt loop and be allhot.

Why would it matter what hand you were?

Due to various writings of Terry Pratchett, I am led to believe that the heart has some symbolism in this, and I dont' think left-handed people have their heart on the right side:O

Oddly enough I had that vague idea somewhere in the back of my head too :) I do usually expect left handed people to wear their watch on their right wrist... But apart from the lanyard (sp?) wihich I'd failed to think of I can't imagine an name tag looking right anywhere else.

In New Zealand we don't have nametags, we just write "HULLO MY NAME IS ______________" directly onto our shirts. Sucks when the ink runs in the wash.

That would explain why all the costumes in LotR look so grubby.

At Disneyland they required us to wear it high on the left side of our chest. The left specifically so it's visible when you shake hands with your right hand.

At KinderCare I rarely wore it, or I wore it clipped to the bottom of my shirt or something.

When I worked at Pizza Hut I would usually wear a nametag that said Michelle on it and that confused people :) For a while I had one that said Xerxes.

High on your chest, like ShlupQuack, said? I'm not sure, never wore one. xD

On my shirt. If I had one.If you had one... is that referring to the name badge, or the shirt? 'Cause I'm guessing a few EoFF ladies are probably enjoying the thought of shirtless RSL sweating away at the lumberyard...

That's the way Disney World is as well. And our badge must be secured and visible above the belt line.
Where I work now, I have to wear a blazer. So my name tag is on the left hand lapel of my jacket. I hang my badge from my right hand coat pocket.

The same, if I had a name badge, that is.

Sasquatch: Haha. A friend of mine told me how his friend watched that Badger video for 4 hours on a row. That should really drive anyone crazy. :p

that's a badger?


I'd do something extremely stupid like the crotch, back or forehead.

I dont think I've ever had to wear a name tag. But if I did, I suppose I'd put it just beneath my collarbone on the left hand side?

On my shirt. Mine has to be there to be fair. It says "Jack". No surname, just the way I like it.

My job requires all employees to wear their badges for security purposes. I attack my badge to the bottom of my shirt hanging over my right pocket.

I wanna try putting my badge upside down, but i am not game enough to do it. But I have once swapped name badges with this girl once. That was funny :D.

I always put my name tags un my jean pocket, where it then covered by my shirt XD if i am asked to put it where it is visable, I'll pin it on my headband....upside down. I don't like the feeling of strangers knowing my name without my permition.

I have to wear a name tag, or I would forgot my name.
