I like to give my name as Prim Everdeen, then when they call the name I yell “I volunteer as tribute!” and get my drink.
File this under “ideas that inexplicably seemed hilarious when we were 15 and very high”: Was with a group of friends, stoned and bored, and decided to each walk into Starbucks, staggered as though we weren’t together, and all order the same drink, each giving our name as “Andy.” We spent a needless amount of time…

Worst mess-up I got: My name is Barry, and I am a conventionally-dressed male. The cup said ‘Mary.’
True, you’re the first Ninjaiceberg I’ve ever met. Is that Swedish?
My husband’s name is Lou. He once got Lupe.
It’s Starbucks, getting the name right it’s a major priority. My name is Tim. I’ve gotten: Kim, Ted, Ken, Ben, Ten...
Spartacus. Always.
Spock would have sufficed.
Time for this ol’ chestnut:
I get it.
