Starbucks Screw-ups

You know that feeling you get when the Barista at Starbucks puts your drink on the bar, looks at the name, gets that puzzled expression on their face, and calls out something that makes you cringe?

Don't get me wrong... I love Starbucks, its friendly employees, and all its delicious, caffeinated concoctions that keep us going throughout the day, but sometimes i've just gotta laugh at the absurdity of some of the names these people write on our cups.

Yes, it's happened to all of us at some point. This blog is dedicated to the most embarrassing, hilarious and generally ridiculous screw-ups that happen when Starbucks employees try and fail to understand some of the more unique names of the world.

I claim absolutely no affiliation with the Starbucks company. No copyright infringement here! Just a girl finding humor in the horrendous misspellings of every day people.

On I think Saturday, my sister, Emily & Melinda, and I went to Starbucks and then the bookstore. I got my usual Double Chocolate Chip Frapp and told her my name was Melissa. Anyway, I got it back and I didn’t notice the name on the cup until we were in the car almost at the book store. Haha, I’m not sure what she wrote there…o.o

My friend’s name is Pooja. Needless to say, everyone has trouble with her name, including Baristas. She has an entire album on Facebook dedicated to pictures of her name that they get wrong, and it’s absolutely hilarious. According to her, they usually ask her how to spell her name, she tells them, and then they screw it up anyways. Boosha is one of the closer ones, actually…

If i’m feeling regular, mine’s a tall vanilla latte. If i’m feeling tired and/or cranky, it’s a Double tall vanilla latte. And if i’m feeling too hot for hot coffee (which is a very, very rare occurance) it’s a tall mocha frappuccino with extra ice. 

You?
