    When I was in junior college, we used to get breakfast in the restaurant lab. My friend was Soda pop and I was Ponyboy.

    I can't believe this is such a problem for a lot of you, just say a name. Could be your real name or a fake one. Who would even know the difference? Usually the guy or gal behind the counter could not care less about the name you give.

    I use to be the guy who had to ask the name for an order and I didn't care if you said Jesus, Jeff, Bobba fett, or father time( A regular would use this every time) just say a name or a nick name. We used names because some peoples attention span isn't long enough to remember a number, so calling there name is a great way to get a persons attention. Now you have some perspective on the issue from the other side of the counter.
