I just read that Starbucks are going to ask your name when you order your coffee. It might work in the US, but Brits, and baiters for that matter are unlikely to tell the truth.

Quote:

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius; father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife; and I will have my skinny latte with an extra shot, in this life or the next!

He he, I've gone to HR here at work and when asked by the newby at the front desk what my name is given them the name of the company CEO. It usually goes right over their heads. LOL.

On some of my store loyalty rewards cards I use the name "Morgain Le Fay". Sure surprised my daughter when we went to a Panera Bread place for lunch and they called out that name and I responded!! Laughing

If asked for a first name at those places I just use "Morgain"

I write material for Terry Wogan's radio shows on BBC Radio 2 (and bait scammers) using the false name of Lou Smorals.

Female baiters should call themselves Kara Thrace in Starbuck's.

Male baiters might reply, "Call me Ishmael".

This is a first for me, hearing about this. Granted the nearest Starbucks to me is 50 miles away, and when we do hit it we only go through the drive-thru (yes some Starbucks have drive thrus) Never had one ask for my name.

I have no problem giving them my name (M---) A lot of people remember who I am anyway since I live in such a small town.

I'm....BATMAN!

No really, I'm not pleased to have to get up early in the morning to begin with, so the last thing I want is to give my name to some barista who'll forget it 10 seconds later. And I don't want to know his/her/its name either.
Just take my order, make sure you have it right, shut up and gimme my coffee.(grumble, grumble, grumble)
