The hat, the source of anonymous identity.

One day:
Someone arrives wearing a UPS hat, they work for UPS, you take your parcel, you have-a-nice-day-now. Did you get his name? Would you recognise him in a line-up? Should you?

The next day:
Someone arrives wearing a UPS hat, they work for UPS, you take your parcel, you see it is torn. "Hang on a sec, um..", quick glance at his badge, "Dennis. It looks like something is wrong with my package." Ooh! we got his name. Lucky us! Is that really his name? Did he borrow a badge because his aunt mavis put his through the drier? Does it matter? Well, maybe a little.
