Well, I did too, for the same reason. But this is a little different - I don't get a choice to press one for Susie or press two for Apu. I get who I get, and their using a fake American name isn't going to improve my experience if they can't speak English - nor is their using an Indian name going to make the experience worse for me if they do speak clearly.
