I guess someone figured out that the weeknight closing crew is usually all women. Too bad for him we had a man on tonight. His apron says Navy Veteran on it. Guess who met this guy at handoff? Definitely not me.

If I saw this I would call out the drink order instead of the name. If he didn't come, I would say in front of the whole store "sorry, I'm not comfortable pronouncing the name on the cup..." and reiterate the drink again. In not feeding into someone's fucking humiliation fetish, get a hobby.

That's what I do, yeah, just call the drink order. Thankfully we're still not busy and it was a mobile order, so I didn't need to call it out at all. I just set it on the thing and when a dude walked in I sent our one male partner over to meet him. "I had the green tea latte..." yeah you did my dude, yeah you did.

I've had people give me names like this on register tho, and I just send them through without a name at all. Whoops, looks like you just get to listen for your drink. If you want to be "fun" and "unique" please just tell me your name is Batman or Groucho; I will legitimately smile.
