It’s a running joke that when a Starbucks barista asks for your name, nine times out of 10, it will be misspelled.
Of course, hearing you over the sound of the blenders, espresso machine and milk steamer can be hard, especially when it’s 7 a.m. and you’re still having trouble forming words. But sometimes the name they hear is so far from what you said, you just have to laugh.
