That's Not My Name

My name is Cara. 4 letters. That's all. In Italian it means Dear, in Spanish it means Face, but anywhere else in America it is apparently gibberish. This is a problem I have had all my life: Giving a name for a reservation, a drink at Starbucks, or any kind of take out order becomes a horrific process that is both time consuming and traumatizing. Everyone will invariably butcher this very small 4-letter name. I cannot be silent about the oppression of my name any longer.

My lunch order today from Umami Burger

Now again, I didn't put in this order. The production office called.
But it's nice to know that people are deaf in other places besides Starbucks.
I'm also not quite sure what this even says... is it K-L-A-R-A? or K-I-A-R-A?
And why are those options for names?
That's not my name.
