I hate when strangers yell my name out in public so when they ask I tell them Jane!
They spell your name wrong because you touch yourself at night, Enty!!!!
Tl:dw also dont waste time or money with Starbucks
im black and the spelling of my name usually befuddles non-blacks. tehehehehe
its hard to spell. everytime I order something instead of spelling it for them (I always need to spell it) I just say mary.
Yes Enty, I too have access to a website called Buzzfeed. And Yahoo...
Agreed that guy is super irritating
I have a fairly unusual name and they always get it wrong
I have a very common name, spelled in an unusual way, so I'm used to this.
Can anyone give a synopsis?
@Lace, I have common name with an unusual spelling, too. I've taken to giving them celeb names. Helena, Janiston, Miley, Carrie Underwood, etc. The only one they've mispronounced so far is Cersei. {pout}
I thought Teresa was a well known name.
:-)
@Karen: Your typical Starbucks baristO basically summarizes that the best part of his day is misspelling the 500+ names that come in. Just to infuriate you for his amusement. Overpriced coffee shop trolling in it's poorest form. The End.
I have a Spanish last name. It starts and begins with an "a" with a couple of "l"s thrown in there. If I had a dollar for every time I've been at a Dr's/dentist's office and my last name has been mispronounced as "Al-Qaeda". You haven't lived until you've heard yourself referred to as: "Miss Al-Qaeda please come to the front desk please. Miss Al-Qaeda to the front desk please.". Having to deal with all the stares that follow that mispronunciation make it 100X worse.
This guy is irritating as hell. If he really works at Starbucks, they should fire him. Super dick head.
My name is Joy. Easy to spell, easy to remember, not trendy or unusual, but you wouldn't know it from the reactions it gets. I always want to add a disclaimer, "Hi, my name is Joy, but I didn't pick it".
I just wish they could read it off the little gold card they give you. If you hand someone something with your name like a debit card, why are you asking my name? It's on the thing I handed you, spelled correctly. There are 2 Ns in bunny not 1!
One should Always know Cersei dammit. .
This is why I tell them my name is Joe.
@missbunny--agreed. My name is on the card, yet they ask every time. On the plus side, they never spell it wrong, or mess up my order.
i've been doing this to starfucks forever. i'm just a very middle-aged man, but always give a name like, "Lois" or "Blanche." there's a little old lady worker who i freak out every time...and it pleases me.
^^ I think my Starbucks name will one be Blanche. Thanks :)
^^^^I call dibs on Gertrude!!!
I say Dunkin Donuts
@SYF : I think I am going to start using my CDAN name at Starbucks! It is so much easier than my real name
Plus it comes from the daytime soap opera Passions so it's pretty amazing ;)
I think Joy is a beautiful name and those others are idiots!
I know a girl called Euphoria.
She doesn't drink in Starbucks.
Yoj, (never once did I see that that was Joy spelled backwards), I like the disclaimer, "My parents hadn't met me yet [when they picked that name]."
@MissInfo
Thank you, you're very kind.
@WUWT?
"...and now they're thinking of changing it to long-suffering."
Yoj was a childhood nickname. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
I tell them my name is 'Huh,' then they repeat their question again. So I say, "No, my name is Huh. Then, I get THE LOOK! When my order is ready, they yell out "HUH!" How many ways can you misspell it?
The weirdest part was the first name he spelled after explaining stuff and showing "Gessica" was Chris, my name and I was thinking "how could they misspell my name other than KRIS?" If someone put Khris, I would know they were fucking with me since there is literally no one I have ever seen spell the name like that.
