High's Low's and Charity Woes (fun stuff here folks!)

[Mr Hero]

Oh the fun I could have if the order taker had to get my name. I could be...

• Pat McGroin
• Jurgen Offagen
• Penis McFartburger
• Baron Wilhelm Von Langenschlong

and countless others....

I prefer Turd Ferguson. (cookies for reference!)

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

I prefer Turd Ferguson. (cookies for reference!)

Yeah, Turd Ferguson, funny name.

Heh heh, this is an oversized hat. It's funny because it's larger than a normal hat.

At the current place of employment we have to ask for people's first names. People have been nice to me about it (maybe because I don't work register very often), but other coworkers have been bitched at.

I don't know what happens when they refuse to give a name, and I hope I don't find out.

[cinema guy]

SC: Nevermind. I'll bet those damn Brit's will hoard it all to themselves. It's a wasted dollar.

Oh yes, we do. Keep donating, I'm hoping to by a new car with this year's money.

[hotelslave]

Just to clarify what I wrote earlier. While it annoys me for my name requests I always give it with out an issue.

[TheFairyGodmanager]

On the one hand I totally understand what your manager is getting at in the way of personalizing service. Unfortunately, he (and oooooooh so many others) neglect to homage the fact that there is a thin, nebulous line between 'personalized' and 'invasive'. When I decided to implement reward programs for my customers, the first thing I did was get my girls together and ask them their opinions as both customers AND employees what would feel comfortable in those situations. Granted, for a rewards program, it's usually easy because it's necessary for them to write down personal information (name, address, e-mail, ad nauseum) for us to store information in our computer. But I don't DEMAND their names be asked for on a purchase.

I like the "bubbles" suggestion. Anytime someone is obviously jerking your chain...

SC: Yeah, use the name Dickhead
OP: *Raising an eyebrow* Bubbles it is.
SC: Tittyfucker
OP: *Bored look* We'll call "Bambi" once your order is ready
SC: Master Bater
OP: Princess it is

*shrugs* It's at least more professional than writing Dumbass and Dipshit on their receipts.

[MoonCat]

For the teens, how about just yelling out "Pathetic Loser, your food's ready." Of course, none of them would claim the order...oh well.

I like "Bubbles" or "Princess." Would love to see the look on their faces.

[dalesys]

My daughie gives "Jane" as her name...

[XCashier]

SC: Yeah, use the name Dickhead
OP: *Raising an eyebrow* Bubbles it is.
SC: Tittyfucker
OP: *Bored look* We'll call "Bambi" once your order is ready
SC: Master Bater
OP: Princess it is

Let's see, what else...

Boopsie
Fifi
Tinkerbelle
Foo Foo
Pee Wee
Lassie
any of the Teletubbies' names ("Tinky Winky, your order is ready!" )

Oh, you could really have fun with Mister Tinypecker Tittyfucker when he comes in again...

[NotMyProblem]

Thank you Kisa!!! I almost never go there the rare times I get dinner to go. Since I worked late, I stopped by there & donated to the hunger charity. Learned that this location offers one charity at a time, even tho they had a large sign posted for the high school charity.....

[Spork4pedro]

Huh...back when I worked at Ye Old Smoothie Shoppe I never had an issue when asking the customer for their name. Maybe it was due to us having that practice in place since the company began?

[BeenThereDoneThat]

I figure a lot of these places are only asking for a name so they can call it when something is ready (your food, your table at a restaurant, etc.)...so if you don't want to give out your real name, you can always just give them one that's not snarky but will be easy for you to figure out is YOUR name when they call it Like, my first name is kinda hard for some people so I can give my middle name which is often just unusual enough for me to be the only one there at the time with that name.

[RealUnimportant]

"Yeah, I need a foot-long for Mike Hunt..."
