At the cafes in Australia they rarely call out the order description, only the name, repeatedly until someone collects their order. Which often tempts me to give my name as "Bueller"...

I used to give an easier name to baristas (even though it turns out 75% of baristas can't spell "Colin" either), but once I signed up for a loyalty card it caused issues that my "Starbucks name" didn't match the one on my loyalty card, so I mostly use my real name now. Nowadays the baristas at my local have memorized my real name & my order, so it's no longer an issue.

I always give my beautiful wife's name as it's much easier to spell and yell than mine, and slightly less common. It's amazing how many brains seem to process 'Jacob' as either 'Jason' or 'Joseph'.

But I am always tempted to give my name as Primrose Everdeen [1]
