So when you are ordering food (feel like this is mostly at a sandwich place) and they have goofy names for their sandwiches, do you order it by using the normal name or the name on the menu?
Ex.
1. Would you say "pastraminator" or pastrami sandwich?
2. "Uncle Bob's Favorite Roast Beef" or the roast beef sandwich?
This is assuming when there is no other sandwich using pastrami or roast beef on the menu. Basically places that give special names to their items that aren't necessary.
I try to 'speak their language'. I may be your customer, but for me to get the best results out of you I have to come to your level.
Without trying to insult the man, he certainly has this compulsive need for rationality everywhere, and finds it hard to just move on while accepting irrationality.
so why is he vehemently defending those who say 'coke'?

This is where I pretend I'm super old and just order things by their normal name. I'm not sure why places try to embarrass their customers for ordering their food.
I used to order based on what I normally say but I noticed based on the reaction from the people taking my order it is a minority position, and am considering changing to the restaurant name. Even tho I find it stupid and embarrassing to say
I've done the thing where I say coke they give me a cup and then I go with Dr pepper because someone was using the coke section. Thug life.
Pretty sure I just say "medium drink" instead of explaining that I am going to attempt to make an arnold palmer at their little stand, but failing that will improvise.
