"Attila! Attila! ATTILLLLLA!" Haha. I do the same but use J. Rambo, Lee Harvey, Chuck Manson and Flavor Flave. Always gets a snicker from the person taking the order and a raised eye from the other customers when the name gets shouted out. Gonna try Derka and South Austin's mom next time. Other Surlers will instantly blow their cover when they look up from washing dishes in back.
March 8, 20205 yr Another move is to read the cashier's nametag when they ask you for your name. You enter into Jedi territory with that.

"Attila! Attila! ATTILLLLLA!" I listen to podcasts when I am shopping at the grocery store, with one ear free or low enough to hear what is around me. But shut it down at the register. I appreciate you use of historical figures, personally I just gave myself various titles of nobility.
March 9, 20205 yr I always use buehler. Occasionally someone will call buehler..buehler...anyone. It's nice when they do that.

"Attila! Attila! ATTILLLLLA!" Change Attila to Attica and your story gets even better.

No. Fucking. Idea. what they are. You score ten points extra if they call the manager to look at them, 20 points when the manager doesn't know what they are.

Bought a cup of coffee heading out on a flight last month. The barista was ecstatic. She hadn't seen a $2 bill in years. I made her day, and it was only 5:00 am.

She wouldn’t take it.

Try one of the gold color Sacajawea Dollar coins or a Susan B. Anthony buck coin.

The line backed up a bit.

March 21, 20205 yr The barista in the OP should be fired and so should the advice column lady who wrote that crap about how the barista is a person with hopes and dreams who deserves your full attention while taking your coffee order. That is the millennial-est bullshit ever.
