Ever wonder how Starbucks employees manage to fuck up your name so bad?
64 replies, posted
at timmies they just write what kind of coffee it is on the cup (DD, 1+1, 1C etc.) so i've never had experiences like this :( i did order dominoes under the name "Leonidas" once and the guy wrote "SPARTAAAAAAAA" on the inside of the box though. i'm assuming that's probably the most entertainment people get out of jobs like that in a day unfortunately
my name's literally impossible to fuck up
I saw the guy thinking for a while and just ended up writing "no" on the cup
Good thing my name is not Sergey
It'd be Auto
That video is fucking amazing, because it's so simple, but so well executed. Holy shit can I please have more.

They recently wrote Sammy.
Thankfully you can't fuck up "Mike" unless you really really try.[/QUOTE]

This video looks like it could've come straight out of a high budget movie.
I never had this happen at starbucks, but when I ordered at KFC, I said my name was John. When the order came out, the employee said John, but she had to look at the receipt for a second, because the cashier wrote Jhoh.
In Chinese speaking countries they only ask for your last name, if only it could be this hilarious. :v:

Some names do have Gs that are pronounced like that, Geoff for example. Quite possibly it was just an uncertainty in pronounciation and spelling.
[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;45957136]My sister and I must be the only people to fuck with Starbucks workers, and get funny/fucked up things in return:

This happened after my sister and I made random noises and asked the Starbucks worker to be our friend in the most screwed up voices possible. She wrote this on the cup, and her goodbye to us was waving her tounge at us.[/QUOTE]

Mirror?

Their automatons detected something entertaining, so they took it down.

[QUOTE=urbanmonkey;45954631]Or it's a way for the baristas to know who ordered what?? If they just said "pumpkin spice latte", a herd of white girls would swarm the counter, there would be Ugg boots everywhere, we can't have that.[/QUOTE]
Or it's just a genius marketing strategy. Spell everyone's names wrong, make them giggle, make it something to talk about, Oh shit they're tweeting it, too. And it cost us NOTHING
Oh the video is back!
My name is Gordon but because of my accent the baristas always spell it a "Garden."

My name is ALSO Gordon.
Fuck you there can only be one.
My name is James and they wrote "Jayme" on my cup.
Another time they wrote "all of these misspellings were probably made up because people are whores for funny ratings". HOW WEIRD!
I've got a lame name, my name is Todd and all they wrote was Tod. I felt disappointed I didn't get a proper wrong name treatment
When you have a foreign name, it's the opposite
It's always hilarious to see what fucked up way somebody tried to spell your name :v:
I didn't even know that they wrote on cups in Starbucks. Perhaps I just forgot, I went to on a couple of years back.
Nice video.
Never had a problem, but it was a small Starbucks and I frequented it often.
Not at starbucks but at a coffee chain in Australia:
"Name please?"
"Heath."
"Keith?"
"No, Heath, with an 'aitch'."
...
"Kehath"
