When asked for my name in places like Starbucks I give a false name and if they want the postcode they get the one of my bank.
I have used, in no particular order: Lynsey DePaul, Helen Mirran, Alannah Miles, Elaine Paige, Janice Long, Annie Nightingale, Joan OfArkThey get told to sod off politely.
Do NOT need my bloody name for a cup of coffee![]()

I think that its funny. I don't like Starbucks but I have a friend who does. She aways gives me that 'what again' look.
I got caught with the this for the first time the other week, however, given what I do for a living and the fact that I was in uniform meant that I had to refrain from doing anything remotely stupid, and gave my real name. I died a little inside.
