Starbucks
New York, NY
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???
That's NOT her 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.

David
October 10, 2012
Starbucks
Chicago, IL
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

Extra R
September 17, 2012
Starbucks
Hollywood, CA
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."
WHY?
