6. Coffee Talk! Share your first pumpkin spice latte of the season with us.
I wanted to enjoy my first pumpkin spice of the year…but Starbucks ruined it for me.
Have you seen the backlash that Starbucks received when they write down the wrong name on your cup? People are not happy about it. If your name is Sara they might write Kara. If your name is Danielle they might write Sara. And then you take a picture of the wrong name on your cup and you share it to Instagram and you’re all “WTF? Why does Starbucks always get it wrong?”
If I’ve seen it once, I’ve seen it a thousand times.
And then it happened to me:
That's not how you spell my name STARBUCKS! Do I LOOK like a Kathy with a C!?! NO. My trip is off to a horrible start now.
When will they ever get it right?
Andrea says
The Starbucks I frequent doesn’t often have enough customers for them to have to write names on the cups when I’m there, so what’s the point of even going there? Stupid empty Starbucks.
Mama Kat says
You definitely need to find a much more crowded Starbucks. Otherwise what’s the point? ;)
Mimi says
Oh my gosh, your coffee cup! When I hear the Countess saying that in the commercials I just want to die laughing! And they made a mug of it! I can’t believe Starbucks had the audacity to spell your name with a C! Wasn’t there a whole thing going around about some lady’s name, and people would give her name as theirs to see if they’d spell it right? It started with an A, but I can’t remember her name now. lol Oh, and PSLs gross me out! HA!
Alison says
That would be the lovely and talented Arnebya! :)
Mama Kat says
Yes, that’s right!
Arnebya says
*waves at Mimi, curtsies* (People still do it, but I just say Lisa.)
Mama Kat says
Yes!! I’ll definitely give them your name next time. :)
Arnebya says
OK! (Remember, it’s pronounced Arnebya ;op). Tag me on Instagram if you do it, so I can giggle.
Mimi says
Oh for goodness sakes, of course you’d show up here…where I haven’t remembered your name. Points for remembering it started with an A? heh heh heh *slightly mortified* But I do feel like I’ve been responded to by a Starbucks super star.
Mama Kat says
I found that mug on a gif site that I pull Real Housewife gifs from. I think I need one for EVERY housewife.
Dominique Goh says
I’ve been to starbucks but not really that often and most of the time they don’t even write customers names on it..
Mama Kat says
I feel like I wouldn’t even try if I were a Starbucks Barista..
Rebecca Jo says
I give them the wrong name every time I can :)
I had no idea there was a RHNY mug – that is THE BEST!!!
Mama Kat says
That RHNY makes me happy every morning!
John Holton says
We frequent a couple of different Starbuckses, and by now everyone knows us by drink.
Kimberly says
My Starbucks is never busy enough to require that my name be given — because Canada and we are Tim Horton’s drinkers.
But I do secretly wish that they’d ask for my name. I want to be called Wanda.
