I suspect that's because a lot of Brits (and the commonwealth, certainly here in NZ) don't take well to commercial friendships. We don't want a random barista knowing our name.
However, if we've seen the same barista every day for a year it's different. So the Italian situation is fine, but asking up front and pretending is not.
- groovy2shoes 13y agoI make up a different name every time I go into a Starbucks. I could be Marty one day, Siegfried another, and Rupert the next.
- andrewflnr 13y agoDo they usually know how to spell Siegfried?
- groovy2shoes 13y agoNo, but that adds to the fun of it.
