You could always use your UKB name - and ensure they get the upper/lower case letters right.

Personally, I'll be using the name Latte...

My Name is Maximus Decimus Meridius (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNdKBPcVGJI#ws)

This did completely throw me the first time they asked.

Starbucks:  'What's your name?'
Me:  'Huh?'
Starbucks:  'Your name?  What is your name?'
Me:  'I just want a double espresso.'
Starbucks:  'Yes, we need your name for the order.'
Me:  'Why?'
Starbucks:  'So we know which coffee is yours.'
Me:  'The double espresso.'
Starbucks:  'Yes, but it might get mixed up with someone else's.'
Me:  'There's only one other person here and they ordered a latte...'

Good on them for publicly supporting gay marriage but I still consider it a bit of a failure every time I go into one.

"I should have gone somewhere where they make coffee and not an inspid simulacrum of brown, brackish piss water with far too much caffeine in it that wouldn't know an Arabica bean if it bit it on the fucking nose".

 :sorry: about the rant ;)

For the record, I don't despise their corporate homogenaity, ceaseless cheesy marketing or really even this latest attempt to endear themselves to a credulous public (everyone may laugh, but it has reaped them a whole shit load of publicity) ..... just their inability to produce anything like decent coffee.

Sorry again, I get enthusiastic about coffee.

I despise all those things and their inability to produce anything like decent coffee.  But occasionally shit coffee is better than no coffee at all.

I also hate asking for a double espresso and being asked if I want a muffin with it.  If I wanted a muffin I would have said so when asked what I wanted.

Excellent. I shall be Alan Partrige next time im in Starbucks... And I shall make sure they spell it correctly and read it out twice ;) But...

I dont really get why everyone is so down on Starbucks... are they really the spawn of satan? or just big and successful..? Do they tie up whip and dunk small children in boiling oil?

I like Starbucks coffee for a long coffee/americano (its my chain of choice for his brew) - though expresso is better in other chains (e.g. Nero - or Cafe Nerd as my visually impaired mother calls it ;) )...

Every shop now asks you if you want a muffin/cake/life-insurance with your coffee.. c'est la vie.. the whole name thing has been around for ages in the States... (at least since 2003 in my case..) "Americano for Taaaaam...."

Maybe this news says more about the British 'sensibilities' than anything Starbucks are planning to do....

I wouldn't care about the children in boiling oil if they made decent coffee. If the spawn of satan made coffee like Bragazzi in Sheffield, for instance, I'd shake him by the hand.

"My name is Legion, for we are many". Best used when you're at the front of a long queue.

I was thinking that if I ever go to a Starbucks for coffee (Gods of coffee forgive me, but sometimes caffeine is caffeine), I think I have the right of not revealing my name to a complete stranger. and when the coffee is ready, do they shout your name up in the shop? because if so, I also don't want the other customers to know my name.
it's not like "oh look Lorenzo got his coffee I'm so happy now".
wateva.

I involuntarily told them today my name was Denis - one 'N'. The cup looks distinctly like the D is a P....

Did you want to find out if they're naughty or nice?

I'm not sure how I missed this thread btw (probably the mere mention of Starfucks) Pure UKB Genius.

"My name is 'Bob'"? Just how rubbish is that?


Let's hope his financial advice is a bit more sound and inventive than this pedestrian drivel.

Surely if you have that much of a problem with it just don't buy your coffee from there?

Its happened to me every time I've been in a Barstrucks in the last couple of weeks (including the usually extra impersonal motorway services). Personally I dont mind.. though it was a bit daft when I was the ONLY person in there and they still called out my name (kind of as an afterthougth mind... the training voices must have kicked in!).

And how, exactly, would that help to appeal and feed a chilidish, immature, puerile, inconsequential. and above all, nugatory intellectual excercise?

Inviting followers on Twitter to "show us what makes you proud to be British" as part of a diamond jubilee promotion must have seemed like a good idea at the time at Starbucks.

But after tweeting the invitation to nearly 2,000 Irish followers of its Twitter account on Tuesday, the coffee giant has been on the receiving end of a backlash over its seemingly shaky grasp of political geography.
