Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, they talk better than they tell you. These are
the radio blogs on the Fresh, So thank you for
your patronage. I appreciate that of my dunkin location all right,
like writing in our diaries, except we say them aloud.
We call them blogs around this time, Kike, dear blog.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Okay, ride with me because this is a two parter. Okay,
first things first, I would just want to ask the
question of what is the purpose of our names being
attached to our fast food orders? What is the reason?
Because there's a whole number system that works just mine.
I want to be ordered one, two, three, four, five, six,

(00:37):
seven eight. Why do I need to give you my
name when I order my food? Can anybody in here
address that?

Speaker 1 (00:43):
But why is this upsetting to you?

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Though? Because when I'm ordering, I don't want the entire
restaurant to know that Kiki ordered this big back meal.
Like I want to be discreet. You know, a nice
little order sixty seven, your orders up? That works for me.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
But don't they see you going up and grabbing order
six seven?

Speaker 2 (01:00):
But you don't know my name. You don't know who
I am. Every time I go order food, I have
to make up a name, so I go the drive yes,
And this is what really triggered me. I went to
a restaurant and they gave him my order, and they said,
what's your name? So I said Ryan. Okay, it was
the first thing I can think of. I said, my
name is Ryan.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
He said, your name is Ryan.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
My name is Ryan.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
It makes sense.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
I was on the phone with my best friend actually,
So I pull up to the window and the girl
slice the window back and she says, hi, ke key,
and I'm looking like, girl, my name is Ryan talking
about But it turns out she and.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
I went to high school together, so.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
She was not far of Sema, but she's working there,
which is hey, fine, But I'm like, why you blow
my cover? And you know now I'm uncomfortable because you
know I'm a liar, you know, and I just came
to get my double cheeseburger or whatever. Why do we
have to attach a name to an order? Let it's
a number.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Qucially in the drive through? What are they asking for
your name and the drive through for?

Speaker 1 (02:07):
They do it? Bro?

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Remember I told you what happened when I went to
Chick fil A and I thought I was famous because
she knew my name. But I had forgot that I
told the girl that the speaker. So in this case, I've.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Never been asked for my name in a fast food restaurant.
I guess checking every day and it's.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
All your yeah, but that's through the app. If you're
if you order through the app, they already your name.
Like I'll go through a drive through. I'll give them
the code and be like Kevin, is that you.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
I'm like, oh, yeah, well it's me and act.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Will be in the backs, like they know your name here, dad.
I was like, we spend a lot of time here, son, But.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Whether they know your name or not, the shame of
the order is going to be a real thing for you.
Like I have shame every time door dash knocks on
my door. I have shame every time I live in
a high rise and someone's got left them in. I
have shame every time I get the call, like on
the weekend, the third call of the day turns out
dude downstairs working a double and he's like, I have
another delivery for you, and so it is party up here,

(03:02):
and you know, you know my thing, Like I'll open
the door for the DoorDash guy and be like okay,
and then it's like three bags for just me, my kids,
you know, and there's nobody in there. I'll be getting
the kids rdy foods here right, Hey, everybody party?

Speaker 3 (03:18):
He checks that boxes, like do you need plates and utensils?

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Life?

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yes, but it's just me. But they just handed me
three bags. But it's just me and I feeling heat,
and this DoorDash man he does not care whatsoever. He
could not, he couldn't possibly care less what is happening.
But me. I take two bags in and I know
it's just for me, and I gotta be okay, Hey,
all right, we're about to eat. All right, thank you man.
You know, but there's nobody in there. It's just me,

(03:41):
So I don't think it matters if they know your
name or don't know your name. You're gonna you feel
shame when you go up and get the order.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
I'm just tired of it. I think we need to
stick to a number system. I think Portillo's has done
a great job. You know, number six nine. I go
out of your mind. I'm getting on and I die. Yeah,
you know, they make a little rhyme out of it.
But like Kei Ki the deple cheese burking with the
extra bacon, I don't need you to read that.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
That's what I'm the understanding. So they say your name.
I thought it was just to be polite, like to
like be welcoming.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
But I don't understand why they're saying your name and
reading your orders.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
I think you're the only one that's never happened to me.
I go to every fast food really like they'll be
like Jason, your orders.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Like Jason with the ten piece chicken nuggets and the
extra large front like does never happened to me?

Speaker 1 (04:27):
And the two chocolate cakes hamburgers extra cake on the side.
You know what you need to do?

Speaker 3 (04:34):
You just carrying like a door dash bag in your car.
I'm just thinking of an order.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Here, guys, we just don't need this. Man, Let's just
stick to numbers.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Just do what I do and wear the hat, mustache,
classes combination. You know that glass with the nose on it.
No one will ever know it's you. I don't know
no clue they're doing you dir why I didn't feel
the need to tell the restaurant like this is for
my whole family, but no one's paying attention.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah,
