But why would you care if the pizza place gets your name right? My name is difficult too, but I just don’t give restaurants my real name.

True, I go by Mike in Starbucks. I guess I can do the same there. I guess it hasn't occurred to me because I never actually called a pizza place :)

My point about the accent is still valid in my opinion. It's difficult to call someone in a loud restaurant and and try to get a point across.

Oh yeah, I’d assume that most people hate calling restaurants :)

It’s been a loong time since I last phoned in a pizza order, but for restaurant reservations it’s a daily thing (lots of places do have tables even though online booking says “full”).
