"Oh, Like Hamburger?"

Tweet

I picked up the phone and dialed the number that I had just looked up. The gentleman on the other line answered with "Monte De Rey Clemmons." I smiled, though I know he couldn't see it, and asked if I could place an order. Now, I am not sure how many of you place orders from dine in establishments (places you HAVE to pick the item up from) but a lot of times these places ask for a name. My name is Amber, and so I gave him that. "Oh like hamburger?" he says to me in English. I roll my eyes, again he can't see this. "Si, Amburguesa." I say, which, when translated, means "Yes, Hamburger." I am a regular patron of this establishment, and usually eat there on Mondays. However, instead of eating at the place I decided to get my usual order carried out. I imagine he recognized my voice, having been a regular for so long. When I placed my order, I did not include the order that my uncle, who usually goes with me, gets. With that being said, the gentleman then asks me "Quieres Mas?" Of which I replied. "No, quiero mas." "Quieres Mas?' is "Do you want more?" and "No, Quiero Mas" Obviously means "No, I don't." Now I am not very good with Spanish, so this is where our conversation ended. He did ask me if I knew which location, and I said yes and hung up after saying "thank you." Now, "Amburguesa" is my new nickname. I expected as much, but it was confirmed when I walked into the establishment and he said "Amburguesa" having recognized me. This isn't the first time I have been called "Amburguesa" and I imagine it won't be the last. Some might be offended by given a nickname that has to do with food. However, I have had nicknames to do with food my entire life. "Onion Head" and "Green Bean" were names my mother and father used to call me. "Amburguesa" or "Amburguesa Con Queso Y Papas Fritas" is a name that I was called because an old friend's boyfriend heard my name and also contributed it to the spanish word for Hamburger. "Con Queso Y Papas Fritas" means "With Cheese (so Cheeseburger) and French Fries." or quite literally "Fried Potatoes." Do you have a nickname that has to do with food? How would you have reacted to the scenario above?
