Yea we have one shift supervisor who always asks for spelling and even tells them she does so since theres many variations for common names or whatever. And like people make mistakes typing customer names on there. I kno i have lol. Like its not that serious. This isn't any legal documents or anything along those lines. Its just to identify someone so they get the correct drink. Sometimes when im typing out a name for a customer and i miss the second letter for example, sometimes ill just leave it and we have never had an issue where someone got mad or frustrated at us for a misspelled name.

Then we also used to have another partner maybe a little over a year ago who would try to make connections with people and compliment them on their names and some people got offended or like weirded out. Like there was a guy who was named Fran. He came in and placed his order. My coworker at the register said to the guy "oh cool. Thats a unique name! U dont hear that too often" and the guy got defensive and said "uhh yess...thats my name" and gave the dirtiest glare at my coworker and i felt so bad for him lol like idk why people get so defensive. Its starbucks. Its literally just ur name on a piece of sticker to identify that u are grabbing the correct drink

Ohh lol ive never seen captain america but i have heard of it and heard its really good! But yea i sometimes have had instances where people with simple spelling common names would offer to spell their name out when i ask em for it. But the ones who u ask for help in spelling their name and they'll pull this shit above like it'll start like: "can i get a name for the order please?" ..."its branden"..."how do u spell that?" ..."branden with an e"......lolol its like cmon u could have just spelled it out but u had to go a roundabout way

Lmao stalk. Foreal. Some people think its a conspiracy lol
