I feel your pain. My name is Guy and I often get Scott back on my cups and various order forms. That's why my "ordering name" is Joe. Although I'm thinking of changing it to Peacon.
Um, yeah, but when's the last time you heard of someone named "Keegan?" For me, the answer is the same as for "Peacon." And I'd pronounce that to rhyme with "beacon" not "pecan" FWIW. Not as funny that way, I realize...
I've never worked at Starbucks, but I've sure called out a few wrong names on purpose working at other cafés to keep myself interested. The hope was that they'd secretly adopt that name as a nickname (I think Peacon is pretty awesome, hint hint).
I usually say my name is Thomas or Kevin. When they ask how that is possible or are confused, I say that they would not be able to get my name right anyway. Then they laugh.
(I usually get Marina, Karen, Maurin, Maury, Kathleen for my real name)
My sister's name is Neisha... And I love watching for the exact moment when they look a the screen and confusion sets in because have no idea what the name is. So they just call out what the drink is. Every time.
my name's marybeth, and apparently it's too long of a name because most the time people forget the second half of it. ive gottten mary-angelos, maryelise, maryann, and marissa.
That is not a lie.
So this video really struck a chord in my soul.
that's why I always order a Grande...
Luckily, they never screw up the last name. Isn't that right, Mr. Joan?
but
in a spanish starbucks i'm known as
max or mach, or even ma
i feel your pain

nice to meet you deacon!
That's the trouble with a non-jack/emily/john/sarah name. I challenge you to pronounce my name correctly:
Aimée
Hello Peacon, my name is Tom Cruise.
