Hot take: when cashier's READ YOUR RECEIPT to find the name attached to your card and go out of the way to call you by it? That's super creepy and invasive.

Uuuuughghgh having my deadname unexpectedly whipped out by a stranger I haven't told it to is so gross. I hate this. It's been hours and I still feel like someone put my shoes on backwards.

@Mous Yeah, I try hard not to even look at the names on cards, because I /know/ they're often inaccurate.
