I give joke names to Starbucks baristas
Is that actually funny? Don't you want to know their real names instead?
No, it's not like we'll ever know each other really, and it's fun to be anonymous.
Giving baristas fake names seems harmless, but only if the names aren't rude or offensive. It doesn't sound like they ever hear the names either.
I figure it's fine if it doesn't go out of hand
Yeah, the baristas might even want to be in it if they find out! It can be a great joke activity to have during the mundane grind of their jobs.
