Some fast food places have now started to ask for a name for the order.  That way when your order is ready, they can call your name.  This is fine and dandy except when you have a name like mine.  When I tell them “Ned” they say Ed? or Fred?  And since I have gotten tired of playing the name game, I just tell them that my name is Dave.   I mean “Dave” is a pretty common name and hard to confuse with any other names.  But the other day when I told them that my name was “Dave”, they said “Steve”?  And since I didn’t want to play the name game I said “that works”.  A few minutes later I heard, “Steve your order is ready”.
