Greetings Curious Scroller,
If you've never landed in this part of cyber space before, you have taken a hard, fast plunge into the fiery depths of work hell. RHU is dedicated to giving the service worker a voice. If you are an angry customer, a corporate suite, a homophobic race-hater, and you don't like skull masks or swear words, this blog isn't for you. Click away now, before your ears bleed and your eyes explode.
I'm Freddy, Crypt Keeper of Retail Hell Underground RHU -- a place for service slaves to have a voice, tell their story, support each other, or just have a chuckle about the insanity of working in the 10th Circle of Hell! I'm also the author of "Retail Hell," the funny memoir about life as a handbag sales associate at an upscale department store! The sequel, "Return To The Big Fancy," has just been released in hardcover and e-reader and is available wherever books are sold!
Maybe that's what he asked to be called.
"What's your name, sir?"
"I don't give out my name, that leads to identity theft. Just write down The Black Guy, I'll know it's me."

as someone who works for the siren..... we have a drink called the black eye. and a lot of customers say nothing but their drink order so when asked what his name was he probably just repeated his drink again....leading to the Batista thinking he said black guy.

Yeah also farther along the cup it says "in S...(can't see the rest)" so they wrote more of a description than "The Black Guy".
Meaning they either forgot to ask his name, or the exchange went like this.
"Can I get your name for the cup?"
"mumble mumble mumble" [walk away]
or
"Can I get your name for the cup?"
"Grande Latte."
"No sir, your name"
"Two sugars."

The few times I braved a StarYucks to get some much needed caffeine they never once asked my name. Ever. Even though it was fairly busy. They just called out the name of the drink.
