Just call him “Che.”

Store clerks are only there to sell products. Not get a history lesson! Who cares what this boy’s full name is??

YOU, if that is your real name.

“Unibrow! Order up for unibrow!”

This guy’s arrogant enough to actually believe his “demands” are law.

I find it very disturbing that restaurants are now doing this. I don’t think it’s their (expletive) business what my name is. One should NEVER have to give out that information in a public setting because you never know who might hear it.

I just simply tell them that I’ll go by the order number.

You got some of that from Picasso’s full name: Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso. And then there’s the late prince of Liechtenstein: His Royal Highness Prince Franz Josef Maria II Aloys Alfred Karl Johannes Heinrich Michael Georg Ignaz Benediktus Gerhardu von und zu Liechtenstein.

What a jerk! Just call him Ernest.

Great strip! Pompous people need to be awoken.

Over pretentious …much?? (◔_◔)

Demands don’t always receive obedience.

I don’t go to Starbucks a lot, but does anyone ever give their full names? I was under the impression that most people give a one- or two-syllable nickname and even giving a short name like John Smith would sound pretentious.

Regardless of how proud you are of your heritage, “Ponytail and Glasses,” you’re being a jerk.

Pretentious much?

Ernesto is a “pendejo”!

My first name “Marsha” doesn’t exist in Spanish, and if I say it to a Starbucks barista, it often ends up being spelled either “Masha” or “Marshal”. So I usually spell it when giving them my name.

Sir, can you just tell me what your friends call you? I sympathize with your cause and am even open to a full conversation (as per company policy, hehe), but a condescending attitude rarely changes hearts and minds. And even when it does it’s not in the right direction.

What w@nker
