I don’t go to Starbucks because I refuse to do KYC. I am honest to a fault and won’t give a fake name. If I do, I feel like I am criminalizing myself, which is exactly the intent of the system. nostr:note16pey8e2lm3x2z9m9d53y2yuzhvhschnp30gv8jdm7s25uws5w9dqmhz92y

Do you never pay with a credit/debit card anywhere? Do you never go to restaurants that ask for a name they can call when your table is ready? Seems extreme man.
I know. I prefer when they list an order number rather than shouting my name.
Sure, but is it only at Starbucks that you draw such a line, is what I’m wondering?
Just give them a fake name. You're not criminalizing yourself. No law governs the writing of a name on a coffee cup. No crime is involved. And writing your name of a coffee cup has nothing to do with KYC. It's not like yout name gets recorded in some Starbucks ledger to endure compliance with finance law. It literally just gets written on a cup so the batista knows who to announce the readiness of your drink to. You gotta chill.
Could try using just a letter.
All names are fake. You don’t have to use the one the government gave you.
Just sharing that I am honest to a fault. I don't like giving out fake information pretending that it's real. Likely, I'm violating a term of service that be used against me. It's not being paranoid, it's just that I've internalized these issues that I feel like I am compromising myself when I am not acting according to a good faith bargain.
Not sure what this says about me, but I give out fake information all the time.
At least to corporations and random people I'll never meet again. it's never maliciously fake info.
Yes! How is it any of their beeswax what any of your deets are? So, it is fine to turn the tables on them, if they are invading your privacy with nunya quex, then give them a serving of the same crap with nunya answers.
