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 =)
