They already do this in Starbucks in Portugal, causing bewilderment and confusion when there are two baristas on, each serving someone with the same name.
They just can't handle it.
Oh, I'd be Screenplay writer. It's all I go in there for, sitting on my Macbook writing a screenplay. I'm writing a screenplay you see.

No, probably just Sir.

Endless 'Bart Simpson rings up Mo's Tavern' jokes.

Not that I have ever been to Starbucks, but I would be 'Ivana Humpalot' or something childish like that.

Just find a local cafe and they'll actually remember your name/face.

I think an assistant, sorry Barista, shouting "Gary Action?" in a loud voice with the questioning uplift at the end may have some comedic value.

Clint (spelled in capitals) can look like Khunt sounds.

I like the top comment from the BBC link:

[i]"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!"[/i]

Spartacus. In the hope that everybody in the queue would give the same name.

" Hello, We charge too much ".

It's probably because they want the feeling that everyone is known by their local bar man, they are starting selling alcohol soon too, not sure when though.

Hasn't Eat done this for years though? When you have something heated up they take your name and shout it out when it's ready. Seems to work OK and I don't see anybody getting their knickers in a twist over it.

Struggling to see the news here. Whether a coffee shop PFY says "caramel macchiato" or "Alan" when (s)he hands me a beverage registers about 0.01 on my GASometer.

Actually, I think I'll give my name as "Ralph."

Then when they say "Ralph, Macchiato" I'll karate-kick it out of their hand.

There's got to be a joke about Kofi Annan ordering coffee in Starbucks, but I'm struggling to find it...

Never mind customer names...how about they train their [s]monkeys[/s] staff to pronounce the coffee names correctly. There isn't an 'x' in espresso...

They do this in a lot of smaller coffee shops and I don't mind it as it avoids the problem with people jumping the queue and getting your coffee instead of their own. Of course it means that I can't jump the queue any more so in that sense I'm dead set against it.

I think you'll find that Kate is in fact short for Bob.

+1. And they will even be able to make your coffee exactly how you like it too.

That's like my local barbers. I don't have to tell them how I would like my hair cut, he just breaks out the clippers with a no. 2 grader thing on and cuts it.

Don't have a local coffee shop yet, but the local sandwich shop knows exactly how much red sauce to put on my mid-week bacon butty. Bless 'em

Hangs head in shame. You're correct of course.

Kate would be funnier, since I'm a bloke.

"Kate"
"Kate?"
"It's short for Bob...."
