There's a place I like to go to for lunch once or twice a week and there is another regular that generally sits at the bar like me. I have talked to this guy over lunch off and on for almost a decade now. I do not know his name.
The obvious way out of this situation: open your own kebab place and start calling him bossman or chief.
I fucking detest when people call me bossman.
Here's a fun way to play it- say "We've talked so many times over the years, and I bet you don't even know my name."
If he does, explain that you said that because you don't know his, laugh about it. Get his name and put it in your phone if you think you'll forget.
If he doesn't, then say "Well we're in the same boat because I don't know yours!" Exchange names, and put it in your phone if you think you'll forget.
Here's a less convoluted way: "hey [mate, bro, ...] I never caught your name"
