Nametag usage sounds like a good idea...until you get into cost and time saving issues. You see, the idea of barcodes works great, but using it with nametags requires printing on the BACK of the tag (they won't let us use the front because of space). So, printing on the back requires us to handle the nametag twice, and use twice as much paper, spending time and paper twice as much...when you carry the 1 and not the 2..you get the idea. Since everyone is trying to cut costs each and every year to bring the fastest, coolest, and costliest-less Missions Conference, extra expenses wouldn't pass the Board!
So, the nametag would work...but how would we know that you are really who you say you are...?...Which is why the counselor has been made to sign the extra sheet of paper. Since he/she has nothing better to do than sit at the desk all day we thought we'd save some money there! I personally lost 65 cents to the pop machine. Not cost effective! I think the nametags might be the ticket...
but I'm with Tom...Dogs are really cool, especially Chihuahuas!
