Every time I walk into a Starbucks and they ask for my name, I'm always anticipating what new alias they'll assign me. Starbucks can never get my name right and it used to annoy me because my name isn't all that hard to spell, but after a while, I got used to it. Whenever I pay a visit to good ole Starbz, I make it into a game; can they butcher my name any worse than the last time? The answer is yes. Here are 10 times Starbucks has made me question my identity:
1. I've heard of Yolanda, but not this:
2. It's close, but is that a U?
3. "Ilanr" ? Reminds me of something Madea would say!
4. Almost right...off by one letter.
5. This one is probably my favorite. Never heard that name before.
6. Is that Hong or Long?
7. Elowsi???? What even is that?!
8. That's a nice name...not mine though.
9. There's this one, which is close, but not really.
10. And finally, they tried to write "Elana" again, but with an extra "N".
Starbucks, if you see this, please keep this going. I really enjoy seeing the different names you come up with. At this point, I have no idea if it's on purpose or not, but it's still entertaining. Whether you call me Eleanor (which they have) or Ilana, I'll still love you Starbucks.
