Starbucks name palava, or fun, whatever you wish to call it!

Sitting in Starbucks in Warrington town centre, my mum has started seeing counselling clients here once a week so I thought I'd come with her so I could check out the town. It's nice. It's a lovely day so I'm siting inside hiding from the sun for a short time. It is the hottest time of day in theory so I'm avoiding it. I plan to go back out into

That's awesome :D

I always want to give a fake!name, but I usually pay with a credit card, so I feel like I probably shouldn't xD

[miss_peg]

LOL!!! Aww! That's a shame. Maybe you could get some cash out one time and pay with that! It's fun saying a different name. :P They have no idea it's not real!

Sounds like fun! Too bad I've never been to a Starbucks where they've asked for my name. :3
What is it that you got? Looks very fruity! :)

[miss_peg]

Really?! I thought it was more common over there! They didn't used to do it here, started a couple of months back.

It's a Raspberry Blackcurrant blended juice drink...apparently it has tea in it. :P

[watchyouwalk]

It might be, just not around here in my area. :)
Ooh that sounds good! Black currant is actually my favorite kind of tea! :D

[miss_peg]

Yeah! I'm not sure if it's actually blackcurrant tea or just tea mixed with blackcurrant flavour, it's really odd but yummy, lol.

They always do that here! Hee. I've wanted give a fake name, but I rarely go to Starbucks. I might have to make a special trip just to do that :)

[miss_peg]

Yeah, you totally should, haha. :P

[colonoscarpeay]

I'm all the time giving a fake name for the fun of it. I'll also do it if someone is bothering me. LOL Its nice to be someone else sometimes. ;)

[miss_peg]

Hahaha, good way of doing it, if someone is bothering you.

Definitely nice to be someone else, also, why should Starbucks staff know our names? Giving a fake name to someone we'll never see again is acceptable I think.

Jemmy? Really? LOL I see nothing wrong with giving them an alias. As long as you remember what name you gave them. lol

What's a palava?

[miss_peg]

Yeah, haha. I think the woman was from Europe as she had an European English accent, so I assume she didn't understand the name I was giving perhaps. LOL! So far Jamie and Sjaan are names of friends so I specifically chose those so I'd remember, hehe.

A palava is like hassle, so something that should have been simple but was actually not so simple!

[katje0711]

I've heard of a palaver, but not a palava. lol

[miss_peg]

I'm not sure of the spelling, to be honest, I just went with what felt right. :P
