    Hahaha, reminded of the time I named myself Kareena. The barista had to asked the cashier which one was I, only to realize I was right infront of the counter the whole time playing on my phoneo_O.

    My name is the kind of difficult to get it right for them. But, I can never change/americanise my name even if it is just for the restaurant table waitlist. Its beyond disgust for me to do that. My take on this......... "you can do it, I can help" ;)

    That's funny. I should try using alternate names. I wonder how "Chamak Challo" would sound.

    it is funny, and more funny, when they call with an accent , and any other Indians were there, fun for all of them, and the person at counter may get offended, if all of them laugh suddenly, you have to cover again, hey my name is funny, people are laughing.
