1) Not A Requirement For Barista To Ask The Spelling Of Your Name

Baristas are not required to ask for the spelling of your name, which is why it can go so haywire when you order. According to a barista at a Starbucks in Nashville who stated, “There’s no real corporate policy other than that we ask for your name”. The barista also added, “We’re not required to ask for a spelling. We often do, but it’s hit or miss depending on the person working at the time”.

2) Busy Schedule

Baristas are also just insanely busy most of the time. According to a barista in Dallas who stated, “When I have 40 people in line, if I took the time to ask every single person online how to spell their name, it’s going to get even longer”. So they resort to guessing. So it’s up to customers whether do they want their coffee in a minute or two or do they want their name spelled correctly.
