It turns out the Polish girl in the Uxbridge branch knows who Enoch Powell is. So that went well.

No, it's the first time they've done it to me.
I can't see it lasting, to be honest. It might work in the States where they get all wanky over customer service and being friends with them and all that shit, but over here we like a nice, surly glower in our service staff.

I will never go in Starbucks so this is purely academic to me*.
Good try with Mr Powell though. Next time: Derek Beacon.
*I can't afford to pay nearly three quid for a non-alcoholic drink

Friend of mine is called 'Glennis'. She'll say it once to them and then refuses to repeat it. She has Flickr album of all the cups she has got. 'Lenny', 'Denny', 'Dennis' and then the ones that aren't even names, my favourite of which is 'Gebbis'
