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.

I can't say I am terribly surprised by this one, seeing as how this is the same Starbucks that dubbed me "Paris" a few months ago.
Sigh.
That's not my name.
The "Tomb Raider" character is actually spelled Lara. Ironic that someone whose name is spelled incorrectly all of the time would make this kind of mistake :)
