Some SC's I've Been Saving Up

[MoonCat]

At one coffee place in a suburb out here, they give you a little cardboard nameplate thingy with the name of a celebrity on it. So all day they're shouting out, "Julia Roberts" or "George Clooney" or whoever....

[Mr Hero]

CW: What's your name?
SC: What?!!! WHY!!!
CW: It's to put with your order so we can call you when it's ready.
SC: Yeah right! I'm not giving you my name!
CW: Mam, you can give me a fake name for all I care you just have to remember it.
SC: I ain't givin you shit! Deal with it! I'm not as stupid as you thing!!
CW: Ok then. I am putting you under "Dick". Remember that name, please.

Fixed for accuracy.

[Stryker One]

I believe if this happens to me I'll just go with "Slartibartfast". If they ask how it's spelt, I'll just tell them, "just like it sounds".

[ShinyGreenApple]

SC: BOOOOO!!! BOOOOOO!!!!

Your true love lives! And you marry another. True Love saved her in the fire swamp, and she treated it like garbage. And that's what she is, the queen of refuse. So bow down to her if you want, bow to her.Bow to the queen of slime, the queen of filth, the queen of putrescence. Boo! Boo! Rubbish! Filth! Slime! Muck! Boo! Boo! Boo!


Hey, it's what I would have said.

[BrightEyedKitty]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Nice.

[South Texan]

CW: What's your name?

What your district manager should have given you as well is the method for asking that question.

We always asked a standardized question: "And what name should we call when the order is ready?" That way, the customer heard the purpose for requesting the name and the employee never asked the highly personal question of what the customer's name might be. We did have a few who still thought we were trying to get their personal information, but we would offer to call a generic name and number like "Customer 13" if they really did not want to use a proper name. Almost all of them agreed to that.

[Mongo Skruddgemire]

SC: I ain't givin you shit! Deal with it! I'm not as stupid as you thing!!
CW: Ok then. I am putting you under "Margret". Remember that name, please.

Please tell me that the person that you assigned "Margret" to was a bloke. That would SO make my evening.

One time at some restaurant they asked my mom for a name. They didn't ask for her name, so she said "Gertrude". lol It's been a family joke ever since, and when her best friend called, she'd tell us to tell Mom it was Gertrude on the phone.

That reminds me of J P Patches.

And you could also just just say "Peggy"

[BeenThereDoneThat]

Coworker S sounds great! Unfortunately where I work she'd never get away with that...which is one reason it can be so soul-sucking to work there. Even the people who would normally be able to put a customer in his or her place in about 2 seconds (and still keep their business) would get in big trouble for it, so we all have to grit our teeth and be nice. Grrr.

You'd think people would be used to giving their first names for food orders these days...it does work better than a number, IMO. And it's not only places like Olive Garden that ask for it, even a (somewhat) local sandwich chain called Firehouse Subs asks for a name when you place your order. Do the SCs really think the employees are keeping a list so they can stalk them later or something?

[Dreamstalker]

My GF shortens her name down for those, I'm lucky enough that I have a common name, and my friends with unusual names will generally just go with something off the wall.

I just use my fanfic character's name. Short and so far nobody's messed it up. When I use my real name, especially if the store's loud, I often don't recognize it as mine (the pharmacy is notorious for this, whoever's doing the processing when I'm there can't enunciate and the loudspeaker sucks to begin with).

No, no. If it's a bloke, it has to be Buffy or Hildegarde. Or Euphegenia.

Dorothy, Daphne, and Josephine are probably a little to normal and common to be gotten easily.

Chocolate chip & cherry cookies for the references.

No, no. If it's a bloke, it has to be Buffy or Hildegarde. Or Euphegenia.

Back in the day, Tom Hanks made a pretty good woman. Peter Scolari not so much.
