Just refused to give my name in Starbucks until they informed me of my privacy rights. As the barista looked confused the whole place started chanting "GDPR! GDPR!'

Just gave my name in Starbucks as, "ALLAH U AKBAR" and as the hipster barista shouted it at the top of his voice, the café cleared up, leaving the space all to myself.

I gave my name in Starbucks as «Death» and left, and when the barista called out my name three times Death entered & said «I’ve been summoned.» And the barista said, «Your matcha is ready.» And Death said, «Thanks.» And though I would not stop for death it kindly stopped for tea

Just gave my name in Starbucks as 'Michael' because that's my name and the underpaid staff have no time for cheap gags and no-one applauded and anyway no I didn't because Starbucks coffee is too weak and bloody horrible.

One person brought us all back down with a bump.
Don't do this. Service staff are not there to be your mouthpiece, and are not able to walk away if another customer takes issue with the words you've put in their mouths. If you want to shout in a Starbucks, just do it. https://t.co/1lax9U2hcN

And, finally, someone suggested a less raucous way of protesting.
