I worked in a store by my high school and one of the coaches names was jim so I always wrote it gym 😂

Nope. I always assume someone might be offended about it so I ask them how to spell it.

no, but I’m about to start

i had one lady be like "my name is \_\_\_\_ and spell it correctly this time" in a super rude tone. i wanted to spell her name in the worst way possible after that but i didnt want to give her reason to get a recovery card or anything like that so i just didnt write it on there.

i understand names are important to people and i too have a name that is commonly mispelled but it's really not that deep. we're not going to memorize everyone's name and we don't have the time to ask everyone how it's spelled. starbucks is a business, it's not your friend. sure it'll try to tell you otherwise but that's just so you feel better about paying $7 for a cup of coffee. that's it.

Sometimes I’ll throw an 3 in there in place of an E for good measure if the names to easy to spell wrong

the opposite, seriously. i've had multiple customers come in with unique/uncommon names and when i ask them how to spell it they tell me to Guess because they like to see what baristas come up with 😥 i had a ... courtlette? come in today and do it to me

We literally don't have time to be bored. We're drowning in mobile orders and things to do any given moment

jO3!!

I spell Jeff as Geoff for the laughs

yeah lol

No. Because names are important to people and I know I get a little sad whenever my name is spelled wrong. I go out of my way to make sure I'm spelling people's names correctly and I've had many people thank me for doing so.

As someone who chose my name with purpose and intent, I know being addressed correctly has significant power in making someone's day better or worse. I've never understood people who don't ascribe importance to names.

no but if there's multiple ways to spell a name i'll almost always spell it the way i prefer. like i'd spell Kaitlyn over caitlyn katelyn kaitlin katelin catelyn etc or i'll spell it Elisabeth over elizabeth. Meghan instead of megan or meagan. john instead of jon. kasey instead of kacey or kacy. sera instead of sarah or sara and so on

although for some reason if i get a mark i'll usually ask "is that mark with a k or a c" once someone said "actually with a q" so now i'll ask if it's a k, c, or q lol

I had a Karen two weeks ago and she was rude as hell, she was like my name is Jodi J. O. D. I. And I spelled it Jody. Because why not?

I spell the names wrong if they are “odd” meaning like teens giving fake names and theyrrr not even names there odd things to say aloud so I mispell then so the person on bar doesn’t have to uncomfortable with saying they. And if I am on bar and there’s a inappropriate or uncomfortable name to call out I mispronounce it

all. the. damn. time. i honestly really try to push it to the absolute most i can

I don’t miss spell it like that, but I like to make their names .. spicy 👩🏻‍🍳
😂😂😂

Like: Emily - Emmalee or Emilee, Jordan - Jordyn, Amy - Aimee, Carly - Carleigh, Nicholas - Nikolas

I’ve never had a complaint directly. I’ve heard whispers of “they spelt my name wrong”. And I had one girl say “awe! I love the way they spelt my name”

one time i got a pedro and i wrote “pedo”=fart in spanish

Yup! Or when I’m at the end of my shift

we had someone say her name was “princess” and my coworker accidentally typed in “priness”. he left it that way.

No, but I nearly sent Shay in as “Shat” with my manager standing over me.

Caught it at the last second. I’ll never know if the POS would have accepted it, but he and I tried our best to not to burst out laughing in front of Shay lol

No bc it makes it harder for handoff. They don’t have time to figure out that gheofffe is Jeff and then the customer may not know that their name has been called. Also, for the love of god stop putting adskjeblp in place of a name

If we get mobiles and are slow enough, we’ll horribly mispronounce names when we call their drinks out.

Yes lol

I do, starting now
