They don't even ask what's your name at our Starbucks. They just say, what name do you want on your cup? (Much more accurate.) I think I'll go with a letter name. I can see it now. What name on the cup? O. Huh? O. Oh, OK. No, just O. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-give-the-barista-when-you-order-coffee/page/2#post-375793 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 18:24:52 +0000 MsMini 375793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just use my real name, Jennifer ... but every once in a while when it is really busy, a few of us end up reaching for the same coffee! Darn common name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-give-the-barista-when-you-order-coffee/page/2#post-375753 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 17:54:52 +0000 pinkcupcake 375753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on my mood, but usually I'll just say Jane :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-give-the-barista-when-you-order-coffee/page/2#post-375743 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 17:51:58 +0000 mamimami 375743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread came to mind just now when I was at Starbucks! The guy behind me told the barista his name was Yaroslavl? I was like, "dude, you need a Mexican Starbucks name!" the barista made him write it on the cup himself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-give-the-barista-when-you-order-coffee/page/2#post-375611 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 16:23:39 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 375611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee &amp; @mrs.wagon: Oh yes, I love that episode! "I signed him up for Spanish People magazine &amp; addressed it to Swarlos"</p> <p>I use my regular name for stuff, but DH always uses different names for food/drink orders. He says his name is so common that someone else with that same name might accidently take our order. He uses names like Walter or Theodore. I don't know why he likes old-man sounding names! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-give-the-barista-when-you-order-coffee/page/2#post-375595 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 16:11:46 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 375595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JamieLee: omg I am dying right now!

My first name throws people off too much and I always have to spell it for them, so I never use it for restaurants, coffee shops, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-give-the-barista-when-you-order-coffee#post-375454 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 15:09:03 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 375454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use my shortened name...Mani instead of Emanuella.<br /> My husband took someone's drink before...he just grabbed it thinking the lady called his name but he misheard. The guy it belonged to REFUSED to let it go. He kept going on and on about how people should "use their listening skills" and he was all mad that DH had touched his drink. DH had only grabbed it and then realized it wasn't his and put it riiiiiight back on the counter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-give-the-barista-when-you-order-coffee#post-375448 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 15:07:13 +0000 Mrs. Blue 375448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: @mrs. wagon: Phone call for Swarles Barkley!

So if someone grabbed my coffee, I would probably totally overthink it and then I'd freeze and then it would be too late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-name-do-you-give-the-barista-when-you-order-coffee#post-375413 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 14:52:47 +0000 MediaNaranja 375413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Luckily, yes.
