Starbucks Sux, Jerkface November 29, 2006
Posted by *christuttle* in : hi crazy , trackbackA couple weeks ago whilst awaiting to see Neil Patrick Harris perform @ Joe’s Pub (amongst many others, but he’s the only one I really knew) with Lisa Spodak, we decided to pop into Starbucks and escape the cold for a few minutes.
Upon ordering each of our drinks they asked for my name. Let me tell you, I hate that. Now when asked for my Zip Code at places like Best Buy I usually just say no (thanks for that one Nancy). But something about being asked my name made me actually think… and not think of just saying no. It was like I had to say something, cause obviously we all have names. Though I should have said I don’t have a name. Next time.
Anyway, so I’m standing there, obviously trying to think of something clever and look at Spodak for help. Spodak, I assume confused at why I was trying to make up a name, says “Jerkface,” laughing quite hard. Now I think she was saying this as a joke–or maybe calling me that for taking so long to try and come up with a fake name–regardless… I replied to the cashier, “yea, that’s it… Jerkface, that’s my name.”
She laughed, looked at us like we were crazy (but cute), and typed it in. Unfortunately, they didn’t call our name out loud. Didn’t seem like they were calling anyones names out loud. We did, however, get the handy dandy Starbucks label with name printed on it. Now that’s hot!
So help me out… what other names should I try next time? How about spelling it out for the cashier… I-W-A…N-A-F…A-R-T . I Wanna Fart, your coffee is ready. E-A…T-M-E.
I know, so childish.

*laugh* Okay, since my maturity has left the building…
Ben Dover and Mike Hunt were always faves when I worked the snack bar at college and we had to call out people’s names when their orders were ready.
I was just taking a bite of a crispy roll when I read your post. I laughed and blew crumbs all over my keyboard.
I would have called out the name. Really loud. “JERKFACE! YOUR COFFEE IS READY!”
Of course, I probably would have gotten fired.
Bear in The BIg Blue House employed Hugh Mann…
and Marcy’s one-armed boyfriend is Armond Hoffman…
I love them all!
JERKFACE . . . that’s an interesting name. My face hurts just thinking about it.
