misspelling a name (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by BatWeary
anyone else have a customer go absolutely batshit over misspelling their name??

a customer came in a couple days ago and when she gave me her name, just immediately spelled it out. i thought she said T-E-S-S. i repeated it back to make sure i got her name right. confirmed it was correct. i had a hard time hearing her because it’s loud. both ovens are beeping, milk is steaming, blenders are going, and timers are going off. you get it.

i hand out her food, and she takes one look at the sticker. starts *screaming* and calling us bitches because she said J-E-S-S. not tess. like….i get it’s frustrating, as someone whose name is *never* spelled nor pronounced right. but i’m not going to scream at the person who took my order because they heard me wrong?? in a loud environment??? idk just made me very irritated lol

Yeah dude. It’s so hard to hear a lot of the time or it’s super easy to mistype too and for speed, I never correct so Tony may be like tgsz. And some customers get mad. I like the ones who are like “THIS IS A STARBUCKS MARKETING STRATEGY!!! THEYRE THE WORST!” Bro. Am I truly expected to 1. HEAR YOU 2. TYPE YOUR NAME PERFECTLY with our kind of shitty computers AND 3. KNOW which spelling of your name that has 65 different spellings you use? Is it so unreasonable to believe that baristas are human and sometimes will mess up your name and it doesn’t have any real intention behind it?
