Your name is a proper noun, thus it must be capitalized.

Unless it is the incorrect spelling of my name. My SN is spelled with a lower case letter on purpose.

Grammatical insouciance aside, y'all missed it entirely. Which comes as no surprise, you're all far too young to recall the Automat diners from the fifties.

An Automat was basically a big vending machine in the form of a diner, or small restaurant. Plates of prepared food were placed in little window-fronted boxes in a wall- you plunked your money in and opened the door to get whatever the dish was.

Then you went to a table and ate like in a normal diner. They were popular for a while- being "space age" and all that- but died out decades ago. They really weren't "automated" as the name implies, there were a couple of guys in back in the kitchen area that cooked everything, put it on the plates and placed 'em in the windows.

Doc.
