There is a Starbucks with a drive through window not far from our house. I usually motor through once a day for a mid-morning treat. Like so many food related businesses they are having a terrible time retaining staff. Lately they have started asking for my name when I order. This has never happened at the drive through before and for some reason it annoys me to no end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mischievous Jerry has started coming up with fake names. This is fun. Except for when I pull up to the window and the staff member with the headset starts talking to me using my fake name. Mischievous Jerry with a 58 year old short term memory has often forgotten the fake name business and looks at them as if they have two heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I get taken off guard and I blurt out my real name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such was the case on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They got one letter correct! Oh well, at least the drink was delicious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
