Your most ridiculous Starbucks name?

rjpf1980

Whenever I get a coffee in Starbucks I love winding up the staff when they ask my name.

Here are some of my best ones:

Brent Snowdrift

Curtis Blackcloud

Brick Harrison

Quentin Mauser

Hickson Realman

Dirk Patterson

Harlon Wolfe

Brock Colt

Ethan Cord

Dillon Spritzer

It always gets a laugh when they call out the name.

Can you guys think of any better ones? 😂

I went into a Starbucks in the Kildare centre a few years back unaware of the custom, when the lad asked me my name , I said wat bud, wat ya want me name for...everybody around was smiling...

Sky King

I recreated an Alan Partridge moment.
Said my name was Dan.... and then ignored the barista for about 5 minutes.

OP, are they your alter names in your pornstar career?

Winterlong

Why would you bother?
They only call out your first name anyway and always misspell or mispronounce it if your name is not a 'regular' one.

I never go to starbucks so feel excluded now :mad:

I've never been in Starbucks.
Do they ask your name? Why?

valoren

Oliver is my go to name for Starbucks.

Always recall the hipster looking douche bag who said his name when asked was 'Hamlet'.

"Marc, with a C" says I.


Cark is written on the cup.
It's alright though I love Cork almost as much as I love stealing jokes form pictures in Tumblr.

My fav one was Marc with a C, and they wrote Cark on the cup

Summer wind

I've never been to Starbucks but if I do go I'll probably say my names Marjorie Daws.

Fr_Dougal

Schite Koffi

Corkgirl18

Or Stephen with an Ph and they write Pheven

Green Mile

Starbucks youngfella asked me for my name to which I gave “Bourne”
The kid writing on the cup sincerely then said “oh my god that is such a cool name, your parents are cool”

What a knob

My favourite is Dave Gorman's story about a guy in the queue in front of him asking for a caramel macchiato and being told they don't sell it anymore. The guy was really pi$$ed off as it's his favourite and he always gets it, and he can't see why they don't just make it up for him. Barista says it's not on the till, not allowed sell it.

So yer man ends up getting a latte, gives them his name.

And Dave Gorman steps up and asks for an americano.

"What's your name?" asks the barista

"Caramel macchiato" says Dave

And proceeds to watch the other fella freak out when he hears it being called out. :pac:

I just lie and go "John". It's a ridiculous practise to appear to be more attentive to customers. Just give me your sh*tty coffee in the sequence that it was ordered and there'll be no confusion.

Except those idiots at the end who forget what they've asked for and stand there like rabbits in the headlights....

...woah misanthropy kicking in there.

I can't stand that particular custom. Actually, the rare occasion I do go to Starbucks, I never feel entirely comfortable to be honest. I'm not sure why but I think its because I don't think I'm a great example of a generation snowflaker, in that I don't wear skinny jeans and I wouldn't take a selfie in public or something like that. In general a Starbucks just feels like a place where, more than other places that you're going to be "judged".

This is the kind of s**t I can't stand about these places, I mean how much more sickening can you get than the above? Why don't they just play R.E.M's "Shiny Happy People" on repeat while their at it.I realise its an entirely different chain but lets be honest, Starbucks or Pret a Manger or Costa can all really be put into the same group.

It's just a coffee shop!

And quite a mainstream one at that. The imagined members of "generation snowflake," would, if you mean cool young people, probably not want to be seen dead there.

I never get a chance to use them though, since they only ever want my first name.

I only drink coffee first thing in the morning so I wouldn't be able to tell if it's bad or good, it's tea every couple of hours all day long for me, but their hot chocolate is yum!

starlit

Without fail they always spell my name wrong or use a name similar to my name that sounds like my own name. Once or twice ever did they spell my name correctly or near enough to it! Don't understand why they don't just have a sequence of letters/numbers in order like they have in restaurants you given a table number. Most ridiculous have been foreign sounding names I have been given names i've never heard of!?

Ah I know but I think these multinational chain coffee shops try too hard to be "cool", which is what I dislike about them really

Do they ask your name? Why?

I have better things to be doing than annoying people who are trying to work for a living.

And anyway, there's no way they'd actually write down any of those names in the OP's post. They wouldn't be able to spell them.

One morning I received a nice cup of coffee from a hipster looking barista, I happened to glance at the front as it was passed over to me and found a statement, not a name, it read; This thread sucks!!!

Story Bud?

I don't need to make up a stupid name. They are completely incapable of spelling my name so it's ridiculous in itself

The only good thing about Starbucks is their signature hot chocolate (which you have to actually ask for hot) or their Christmas latte flavours. Their actually coffee is a bit ****, and too expensive to be a bit ****.

I've converted everyone in work to the small coffee place across from our local Starbucks. Starbucks moved to smaller shop a couple of doors up. Coincidence? I doubt it :cool:

Or just ask for a Vanilla bullsh*t? Really wish I had the balls to say this....

They probably hate the name thing as much as everyone else so why try to annoy or embarrass them? I'm not really into practical jokes, especially involving strangers, so this kind of thing just isn't for me.
