In my youth when I worked retail, I had a plastic nametag pinned to my shirt. My face was clearly visible of course.
How is this different?
Did you not have to wear a name tag like this guy?
I mostly agree but it's a different time. People can find you online using your name and face (not everybody is as anonymous as I'm sure many of you lemmites are) and it's not likely that anything bad would happen but I can see it as a privacy concern.
It's still just first name though so I don't see it as super invasive but it's still not exactly the same thing as a pizza guy wearing a name tag that says "Rambo" (or whatever it says in the image you uploaded)
UPS/Fedex/USPS drivers don’t share their location or a photo/name. Those systems have been working well in that manner for a century.
UPS allows you to track packages when they're close.
UPS/Fedex/USPS staff are all wearing uniforms and driving large trucks blazoned with those organization's logos and trade dress.
Many Amazon delivery people are wearing plain clothes and driving unmarked cars or rented trucks with no branding.
Hell, even mechanics tend to have a name tag on their jumpsuits. It's pretty common in any customer facing service job.
