“Hey, Ray, Can I talk to you for a second?” she shouted as Ray passed their office. 
“Hey, Cassy.” Ray dawned his fake smile. 
“Listen, corporate wants to improve our public image and has mandated that we all wear name tags.” Ray’s smile dropped. “Look before you get upset like the rest of the bus drivers. It is not mandatory yet, but I must issue them.”
Ray took the tags. “I don’t think I will wear this tag to tell you the truth, Cassy. Any one of these crazies can find out personal information about me; it’s just scary. It’s a safety issue.”
Cassy nodded, understanding the concern. “Well, it’s not mandatory, and I will bring it up to the uppers when we meet on Tuesday. Just hold on to it until we know more, okay?”
“Alright”
“Stay safe out there.” Cassy smiled.
