Green = I inform people on my current mental state
Wearing pin at all = I inform people on my current mental state
Taking care of yourself is step 1 to being good to others. Ignoring your depletion only leads to growth of anger and worsening relationships with people around you. Ain’t it better to let them know you’re not in the mood and this has nothing to do with them personally?
This is about the most asinine, self-centered thing I have ever read. Do you think this employee is going to check the mood of each customer? Hell no. The customer comes first and if an employee of mine showed up with this one morning to work, they would be asked to remove it, as it is a distraction from the goods and services I am offering. Keeping a job is taking care of oneself, and taking care of the customers, including interacting with their requests, no matter how tiresome and mundane, is part of the job.
If everyone had a pin on like this, everyone would be constantly looking at each others pins thinking, “ Oh, can I talk to them today?, oh my, I hope I am not stressing them”.
Grow up or get a job you don’t have to talk to people.
Imagine getting this pent up and angry OVER A FUCKING PIN. Im sorry but if that’s the way you act over a piece of metal, that’s entirely a you problem. If you get mad because someone wants to express how they currently feel at the time, THAT’S ON YOU. Its fine to disagree, but being a mega dick about it is another fucking ballgame. No wonder customers prolly dont fucking like you.
The pin may not even fucking be for the customers, It could be for SHIT coworkers like you who act like fucklords over someone elses business. You’re the type of person that if you were a teacher and saw a child using a sparkly, decorated pencil or showing a shoulder, You’d shit yourself screaming before sending them to the principal’s office.
It’s obvious here you don’t need the pin, your personality is enough for people to go “Yikes! I really don’t wanna talk to this guy”
It would absolutely be nice to regulate your expression based on how another person feels. That’s basic empathy and compassion.
And even as a customer, I do care about people who deliver services to me, and do not want to make their day worse. Moreover, I think treating workers as something more than soulless dispensers might bring us all closer together, and help us understand each other, which ultimately leads to more love and care in the world and less isolation - which, in turn, is considered to be one of the primary ways to combat mental health crises.
There is no mention of any regard for the customer. Is the mental health of the customer important in this instance, at all?
This is a popular post and there is obviously a generational difference of opinion, for me.
It is about being polite vs. look at me and read my pin. There is no interest here in how the customer is doing.
It is like saying ”you’re welcome” vs “no problem”. In my world, “you’re welcome” is the proper choice of respect and “no problem” comes across as rude and uncaring.
It is important! No matter what, an employee must be polite and do their job. Moreover, the customer can have a pin as well, which may dictate how they should be approached.
The most asinine, self-centered thing I’ve seen today has got to be you assuming that the emotional state of your employees, which the goods and services you offer depend on for sales, is something that they should simply magically suppress for the sake of customers.
Do you think this employee is going to check the mood of each customer?
Buddy, if every customer going through the checkout line at the grocery store I work for had this pin on, it would make judging how much small talk people want loads easier, and would save me, and them, a huge mental headache. That said, if only I were to choose to wear that pin, I don’t think indicating to customers how up I am for small talk would make me an asshole.
If you were my boss, and wanted to deliberately disregard my mental state because you felt it would make you a few more bucks, that would make you the asshole.

Get your priorities straight.
Have a great day and thanks for the advice.
You’re welcome.
