So the screwing up the names on the cups thing.... is that intentional? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by shorty6049
Someone is arguing with me saying that the reason the names are frequently written wrong on people's cups is because it gets people talking about starbucks and posting it on social media. My personal feeling was that baristas were either A) unable to hear the customer say their name correctly , or B) bored and felt like having some fun.
Just curious!

We’re exhausted from the day and we write it phonetically.

When I have 20 customers in line during peak hours, getting their names done is the least of my concerns. As long as the name is pronounceable that's all I care about. I don't know every name in the book, nor have the holy knowledge to know which variation out of thousands for one name is yours. I don't have time to ask if your name is spelled as aiden, Aden, Adan, Aaden, Aidan or ayden.

For sure. I assumed it was something along those lines. I just wanted to hear it straight from the people who worked there that it's not an intentional thing you do to get people talking about it or something.

Some people just don't know how to spell... The touch screen isn't super sensitive so it's easy misspell. I've never known myself or any other baristas do it on purpose.
