Talia & Mandy
December 11, 2012
Starbucks
New York, NY
Two times as fun!!
Two of my favorite people BOTH had their names destroyed by a hard of hearing Starbucks barista today. Perhaps NY is preparing for my holiday arrival.
Therefore...
Talia gets an extra syllable to be "Talahia"
&
Mandy gets thoroughly modern as "Milly"
... Except not. Like, at all.
That's not their names!!!

This is especially confusing to me, because my friend's name here is Zack.
Zack = Zen. Maybe the barista was making a comment on his aura?
Still not his name.

Meet my friend Sheena.
Now while I'll admit at first, you might question exactly how to spell it. Especially if you did not grow up in the hood. I had 3 friends named Sheena in high school.
Adding an extra unnecessary syllable though... really???

My friend David is an asshole.
He was excited about his first Starbucks cup with his name on it.
I'm not sure how David has gone his whole life without getting his name written on a cup.
He seemed surprised that they spelled his name correctly.
David is the second most popular name in the US

Starbucks

At first, I thought she had spelled my name right and said "oh wow! You got it right!"
The barista said "I did? I don't even know why I put the extra R in there"
I said, "Oh nevermind. It's jut C-A-R-A"
She said, "Oh I wrote Carol."

At least she heard it right...
This has happened to me multiple times now... I'm not sure why this is even an option. Does anyone know someone out there who spells it with double Rs??
That's not really my name.

Starbucks
Hollywood, CA
I was standing there waiting for my drink to be ready, while she called, "Laura!"
"Laura!" she called again.
"Laura! Iced venti soy chai!" she said
That's funny, I thought to myself. Laura and I ordered the same drink.
Then the barista pointed at me and said, "Laura!!!"
Not. My. Name.

Joy is not only a fairly common name, it is also a well known noun.
Does this say Jorann? Joeann? Anything remotely resembling a name or even a noun?
No.

I am loving that the name is spelled right.
But why did the barista feel compelled to also draw a little cross on the bottom?
Perhaps God sent her a message down from the heavens and told her how to correctly spell my name?

Allow me to introduce to you my friend, Mandy.
Mandy.
M-A-N-D-Y
In 2010, it was the 188th most popular baby name
(In comparison, Cara was 642)
WHAT THE SHIT IS THIS? Is this some other foreign language translation for Mandy? I'm not even sure what this says, or why this happened. I don't have words. All I can do is hang my head and slap my forehead.
That's not her name.
That's not a name at all.

Definitely not a salad.
