Sorry for the delay!

Sorry for the delay as I was getting my Passover on last week. Yesterday I attempted to get "Janelle" on a cup but they never wrote down my order so I ended up with a cup with no name.

However, today we're back in action.

Cashier: What's the name?


Me: Jardine. 

Cashier: Charlene?

Me: No, Jardine. 

Cashier: Decaf venti soy americano for Jardine.  

Barista: Here this is your drink...

Back by popular demand...

Today I figured I would just try an English word.

Afternoon delight =)

My coworker Lauri came by and asked if I wanted a coffee from Starbucks. With a smile on my face I said, "YES! Please get me a venti decaf soy americano for Astrid." First she told me she wouldn't be able to do it but she came through!

Lauri: Tall unsweetened iced coffee with one pump of hazelnut. Oh, I have another drink.

Cashier: Ok.

Lauri: Venti decaf soy americano.

Cashier: What was your name again?

 Lauri: She wants me to say it's for Astrid. 

Cashier: How do you spell that?

Lauri: A-S.. you figure it out.

Cashier: I'm going to give her a heart too!

The tables have turned...

On the bus ride in this morning I was debating whether I should be Shiobhan or Sammie Lynn. I talked myself into being Sammie Lynn while I waited on the long line at Starbucks. There were two cashiers working and I was hoping I would get the one I have never had before so he wouldn't recognize me. However, I got the same cashier "Ripley" had the other day and was convinced this was not going to work.


Me: Iced Venti decaf americano.
 (He goes to write my name down and looks at me with this "I know you" expression but couldn't think of my name).

Me: What you don't remember my name?
(I needed to buy some time to think about the last name I gave this guy because he looked like he definitely remembered me)

Me: Aubrey.

Cashier: Aubrey! Right. Ah, I don't serve you a lot do I?

Me: Nope.
 

Cashier: Ah ok, then I don't feel so bad that I couldn't remember.
 (He writes my name on the cup and turns the cup toward me to show me my "name").

 Is this right? I always make sure I spell people's names correctly. 


Me: Yes it is. Thank you!

I left there thinking, "Shit! Did this guy read my blog?" Was this just a coincidence or has he caught on? I might need to find myself a new Starbucks =) Let's see how much longer I can keep this up.

Dynamite!

My boyfriend and I were watching TV over the weekend and we landed on one of the classics of our generation, Napoleon Dynamite. Of course it was right at my favorite part where Kip is waiting for his online girlfriend "La Fawnduh" to get off the local bus. My boyfriend and I just looked and each other as we both exclaimed "Have to use that for Starbucks name!"

However, I was a little worried I wouldn't be able to pull off a "La Fawnduh" so I decided I would order my usual drink for "Allie" and a smaller drink for my imaginary friend "La Fawnduh."

Cashier: Can I help you?

Me: Venti decaf soy americano for "Allie" and a tall skinny vanilla cappuccino for "LaFawnduh."

I eagerly awaited for my drink to see if they would get this one right.

Barista: Skinny vanilla latte for LeChandra.
(Assuming that was me and they got the spelling wrong, I took the drink to find the spelling was correct, the girl just couldn't read).

 Barista: Venti Soy american for LaFonda.
(I was shocked to find both of my drinks were for LaFonda!)

So there's still some illiteracy this AM, but they just ignored the simple "Allie" name and went with
La Fonda on both. Oh well, got an extra drink for later =) 

Panera is on the same wave length...
