And a twist on that, telling pilots to "respond with call sign only", then giving them crossing instructions. If they blow it, no job. Seems some bonehead always screws that up too, and his lengthy read back causes someone to miss the crossing window.
In their defense, this generally isn't an issue with our new-hires (they're too busy calling ramp from the south side of 9L/27R), it's usually another DCI carrier with an occasional Delta thrown in for variety.
