Starbucks coffee is horrible so it won't be anything!

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.

I'm thinking of using the initials VD...

Sir.
Or maybe Mr. <insert surname>
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.
I would be "Stoptryingtobemyfriendandjustgivememycoffee"

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

My name is Khunt, said with a German accent.
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.
Tell them your name is " Take me NOW ! ".
Isn't somebody avoiding the swear filter ?.......

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.

I'm Brian. And so's my wife.
Think I'd like:
" We charge too much "
**Walks into S/B's**
" Hello, We charge too much ".

The only reason I can think of to go into Starbucks.
I might try 'Captain Underpants'....
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.

Is there one outside of Paris? None here on the med AFAIK.

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...

Bindun?

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

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...
