I'm having issues reading in from a filestream


The code where the error is located.

Customer::Customer()
{
  static int nameNum = 1;
  ifstream fin1("names.dat");
  for(int i = 0; i < nameNum; i ++)
    fin1.getline(m_name, MAX_CUSTOMER_NAME_SIZE);
  
  m_money = (rand() % 51) + 25;
  m_weight = (rand() % 161) + 90;
  m_cholesterol = (rand() % 271) + 30;
  m_alive = true;
  
  nameNum++;
  fin1.close();
}


The class.

const int MAX_CUSTOMER_NAME_SIZE = 50;

class Customer
{
  private:
    char m_name[MAX_CUSTOMER_NAME_SIZE];
    float m_money;
    float m_weight;
    short m_cholesterol;
    bool m_alive;
  public:
    Customer();
    void eat(Burger& munchy);
    friend ostream &operator<<(ostream &out, const Customer person);
};


The driver.

#include <iostream>
#include "Burger.h"
#include "Customer.h"
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  srand(time(NULL));
  const int NUM_BURGERS = 5;
  const int NUM_PEOPLE = 5;

  Burger burger_array[NUM_BURGERS];
  Customer cust_array[NUM_PEOPLE];

  for(int i = 0; i < NUM_BURGERS; i ++)
    cout << burger_array[i];
  for(int i = 0; i < NUM_PEOPLE; i ++) 
    cout << cust_array[i];
  burger_array[0].setPathogen(true);
  cust_array[0].eat(burger_array[0]);
  cout << cust_array[0];

  return 0;
}


There are several hundred lines that I didn't include here, but everything is for sure #include'd, I'm using namespace std;, and I keep getting poor output.

Here is the overloaded cout <<:

ostream& operator<<(ostream &out, const Customer person)
{
  cout << person.m_name << (person.m_alive ? " is alive," : " is dead,") <<
      " has a weight of " << person.m_weight <<
      " lbs and a cholesterol level of " <<
      person.m_cholesterol << ".";
      cout << endl;
  return out;
}



Before each 'is alive . . .' there should be a name from my names.dat file.
They should be read sequentially into the array of 5 customers as they are constructed. (Thus, only the first 5 should be read, because only an array of 5, not 15, is constructed.)
