The article addresses two issues: a cashier's discomfort with being addressed by name in an overpowering manner and a bride-to-be facing issues with guests bringing gifts contrary to her wishes. Miss Manners advises the cashier to raise the concern with her supervisor and propose pseudonyms for name tags. For the bride, she suggests handling gifts privately to avoid embarrassing those who respected her wishes, as requesting no gifts often leads to social complications.
Address your supervisor about name tags and suggest workplace pseudonyms like 'Cashie the Cashier' to alleviate customer discomfort while still providing service.
Miss Manners explains that requesting no gifts often backfires, leading to awkward situations as some attendees feel compelled to bring presents despite the request.
