Do you think McDonald's is run by a cackling Dr Evil who is using his profits to build an Earth-destroying death ray or something?

NO, that's Starbucks, silly. Do I need to point out the recent Starbucks plan of having their coffee servers (foreign words my bottom) write messages on the cups to stimulate "conversation." Yes, only someone as blatantly stupid as Dr. Evil would ever think that would work.

Thankfully Starbucks here don't do any of that nonsense. Do American ones still ask what your name is?

I generally avoid Starbucks these days, but I see a number of places that would rather place a name on your order than a number. Panera bread is a good example of this. Since the coffee server is different from the person at the register I can see why they might ask for a name so when its ready they can use it instead of some number (because numbers have order and if you aren't calling numbers in order people get upset).
