 I know. I prefer when they list an order number rather than shouting my name.  
 Sure, but is it only at Starbucks that you draw such a line, is what I’m wondering? 
 Just give them a fake name. You're not criminalizing yourself. No law governs the writing of a name on a coffee cup. No crime is involved. And writing your name of a coffee cup has nothing to do with KYC. It's not like yout name gets recorded in some Starbucks ledger to endure compliance with finance law. It literally just gets written on a cup so the batista knows who to announce the readiness of your drink to. You gotta chill.
