This happens to M and I a lot when we're eating out. M is shy with strangers and therefore gets a little inarticulate when faced with having to speak to people in transactions like that. So I usually do most of the interaction with the exception of him giving his order. And I even do that sometimes.
Yet at least half the time, the waitcritters put the check near him. Sometimes, I'll take the check, put my credit card on it and leave it on my side of the table, and when they bring it back to sign--apparently not noticing the name on the card--they STILL try to give it to him.
Of course the fun one is when people assume we have the same last name or assume we're not married because we don't.
