I didnt expect to be pissed over this, but being someone who rarely (if ever) has people get his last name right, the perpetual screwing up of "Mamdani" is actually setting me off.

Yup. Or any service workers. Or assistants in corporate jobs. The number of lawyers that are assholes to secretaries and paralegals but then expect secretaries and paralegals to bail them out for last minute filings...
You should sever any relationship, including a close friendship, with someone who is rude to waitstaff.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
