I don't get this at all. It's always great to hear people do that, especially when you finish whatever it is and they ask to get your name. You've made an impact, you've improved someone's day, you've saved their home, you've got them a great deal on their car (lol), whatever else, and they want to remember you to ask for you next time or just because they enjoyed the experience. But this is Reddit, so someone doing a nice thing and treating the minimum wage shelf-stacker like a human and not an emotionless robot is bad now. The whole website worships mediocrity and self pity.Some do, some don't. Depends on the store. Some stores only have certain machines accept cash and others not. Couldn't tell you why.
Retail wagie redditor would rather be called Beta than by their real name:

I’ve been in retail a long time but this always creeps me out a bit. Even if the customer’s just trying to be nice, a small part of me feels ever so slightly violated when they read my name tag and awkwardly and unnaturally insert my name into their next sentence. Even if it’s just to say “thank you Ken”
Not even sure what the point is of name tags nowadays. Maybe they should do away with names on the tag and just use a number or code word. Then customers can say “thank you colleague 1335Beta”
