I get this pretty much EVERY night I work...

SC - the moron

me: ok - do you have a credit card?

SC: yes.

Me: What's the name on the card?

SC: Visa (or Master or <insert name of> bank)

Me: Is the card in your name?

SC: yes

Me: What is your name, please?

SC: John.



Me: <grit teeth> And what is your surname?

SC: Oh - right... citizen.

Me: Thank you (moron).

Idiot: Katie
