I admit, we don't have the whole story. Did the Slave ASK how to spell your name? Did you offer? Blame goes to both sides I think.

Greetings Curious Scroller,
If you've never landed in this part of cyber space before, you have taken a hard, fast plunge into the fiery depths of work hell. RHU is dedicated to giving the service worker a voice. If you are an angry customer, a corporate suite, a homophobic race-hater, and you don't like skull masks or swear words, this blog isn't for you. Click away now, before your ears bleed and your eyes explode.
I'm Freddy, Crypt Keeper of Retail Hell Underground RHU -- a place for service slaves to have a voice, tell their story, support each other, or just have a chuckle about the insanity of working in the 10th Circle of Hell! I'm also the author of "Retail Hell," the funny memoir about life as a handbag sales associate at an upscale department store! The sequel, "Return To The Big Fancy," has just been released in hardcover and e-reader and is available wherever books are sold!

Meh why whine about crap like that when you clearly got your coffee anyway?

I've had my name misspelled when placing orders. As long as I get what I ordered I don't give a rat's tail how they spelled it -- they could type it up or write it down as Mr Mxyzptlk for all I care.

People misspell my name constantly. Even when I do spell it out for them. Heck, my teachers in school would misspell it even when it was written out in front of them.
And it's not just my first name. My middle and last name are constantly misspelled too.
It's actually very annoying. Especially when I've spelled it correctly for them and they don't believe me. I know how to spell my own doggone name!

My name is spelled wrong all the time. I just tell them to try their best so that they can read it. Because I'm soooo used to it being mispronounced, I recently had a bill collector call and tell me I owed them $12,000! That's when I remembered she mispronounced my first name. Yeah, wasn't me.
I have a relatively uncommon (but getting more common) name, but I've between called everything from Veronica to Emily.

Sa-BEAN? Wow, I thought people messed up my name...

He really isn't whining. He probably just thinks it's amusing. At the most, slightly annoying.

My name is Jen (very obviously a female in appearance) and they have given me a cup that said Jim a couple times.

I understand its your name, but in places like starbucks where they just want to get you in and out quickly, I think people get a little butthurt over something stupid.
Sure, if it were somewhere I went a lot, or someplace where having the correct name would matter, I would be sure to correct them, but people misspell Andie (my name) and my boyfriend's name (Jimmy) all the time.
They usually put Jamie for him and Annie for mine.

My friend is named Nalani. She gets it misspelled constantly at Starbucks. It happens.
It happens. I had a teacher right "Candance" once, of course it was my dance teacher, which made it even more hilarious lol

I had a friend named Cheme (pronounced SHIH-mee) and I think she's just totally given up giving her real name and tells them her name is Mimi when they ask for a name.
On a related note, on of my uncles is named Doug and his grandmother would always spell his name Dug. Like on his birthday cards and stuff. Dear Dug. That is somewhat more awful.

Working at a library, one sees all sorts. I can honestly say that the more tattoos, piercings and rainbow-colored hair a patron has, the politer they are! OTOH, I have been shrieked at, condescended to and sneered at by more Ken and Barbie types than I can shake a stick at. So, you just keep being YOU, tattoos, pretty hair and piercings. We love you just the way you are!
