I was asked my name when I went to get a cup of coffee some few weeks back.

I looked at the person serving me and said: "I am The Customer."


I regret not adding "you can call me Sir"

I may be reading too much into this, but isn't the joke that he was in a Starbucks, where they write your name on the cup....?

When I worked in retail the store I worked in did this from time to time. Usually for customer profiling, how far they had travelled etc.

However if a customer did not want to provide the information, we were under strict instruction not to see it as an issue and just proceed as normal.

Some heavy handed store manager has probably decided every customer must do it, I can't see head office agreeing.

That may be the case. Either way it's still lamer than a lame thing.
I mean....coffee FFS, and a franchise's weak attempt to engage.

I always use a fake name. You can't be too careful. They're out there, y'know. Watching.

Had this happen in a yard a while ago, wouldnt sell me a couple of planks of bloody wood until i gave them a car registration. Gave them one i'd scrapped 20 years ago. Yard guy saw as i was leaving and gave it the " you shouldn't have done that mate" bks.

Why?

Seriously, fkING WHY. For a couple of pieces of fking wood. Who gives a fk what vehicle takes it away? Private customer, not paying trade rates, for a job in my own garden. There is no logical reason i can think of for this information being needed. Anyway, long story short i bummed his dog. There's something very wrong with the world when we put up with this sort of petty nonsense and i suspect i'm not the only one who's fed up of it. Maybe it's an age thing, so much privacy has been lost in the last few years.

I worked in a store that did similar (it was used for warranty purposes in case receipts were lost but also used for marketing, profiling and fraud prevention behind the scenes) - but eventually it became a target and suddenly certain people got very pushy for it.

Surely the point is it takes them a while to make it so you can go and sit down and when it's ready they call your name and you go and collect it from the counter? Otherwise you have to stand there waiting and trying to count how many people were in front of you in the queue. Seems perfectly reasonable to me, unlike their tax returns.

Exactly.
Getting all powerfully built on them and declaring "Thou shall call me sir and be grateful" is a bit...well......st?

Although giving your name as "A Taxpayer" or "Ivor Bigun" are acceptable alternatives.
