You can't use that card. It says Mr Chan.
Here's another amusing anecdote. I picked a day to go drop into some modelling and talent agencies - just to enquire about how to apply to get onto their books. It was totally impromtu and unannounced, and I wasn't expecting anything other than to get some information - which I did get, but I'll follow it up some other time.
So, along the way, I dropped into a pharmacy to get some pressed powder. My compact was running low.
I'm a member of this chain of pharmacies, which means I get a discount on some products, including cosmetics. I selected the powder I wanted and headed to the nearest counter. There were two women there. One was a supervisor, the other was a trainee, and the supervisor was instructing on some matter.
Cassie (pointing): "Can I pay here, or should I go in there?"
Supervisor: "Sure, you can pay here."
I place the product on the counter with my membership card on top.
Supervisor: "Oh, you can't use that. It says Mr Chan."
Cassie (dropping my voice a bit): "Yeah, that's me."
Supervisor (short pause): "Oh, that's alright then."
And she hands the card and product to the trainee who then operates the cash register.
Cassie (jokingly): "At least you were checking."
She smiles back slightly. The rest of the transaction proceeded smoothly.
That was funny.
When I got back to the car, I just laughed my head off and carried on my way.

Cassie, you're adept in handling that situation.
