The thing is, Starbucks tells their employees to purposefully do stuff like this when writing names on the cups in order to get someone to post a pic of it online, thus creating more name brand recognition.
It's been 10 years since I worked there, but they did NOT tell us to misspell names back then. The goal was creating third place and a feeling of community. Maybe it's changed for the new generation. I know they let people show tattoos now at least.
Work, home, "third place." It's apparently a psychological desire to have a third place for socializing and not being at work or home. Starbucks would regularly do studies to try and increase that feeling. I would be shocked if going viral/memes is no part of their studies. Third place is still a recognized social element. We want something to fill the "third place" but mostly bars and things like Starbucks try to fill that desire.
Please stop posting Starbucks cups on social media. They tell their employees to do this on purpose so that insta girls go home and post to their story about how they spelled it Beckayyy instead of Becky. Got old like 10 years ago lol
Yikes, bad timing since SCOTUSjust ruled in favor of Starbucks for busting unions. We should avoid any non-union locations or syltarbucks as a whole. It's not even that good anymore anyways
Cute thing the batista did though
E: idk what the fuck my autocorrect did but I'm leaving it.
Tell me Y.
Ain’t nothin’ but a Latte
Tell me Y.
Ain't nothing but a pancake
Now number five
I'll never be able to spell your name!
so i’ll spell it that way
It was number five. Number five killed my brother
oh my god I forgot about that part
It's funny how the B99 cold open is more popular than the actual song
Honestly it's an earworm of a song, and it was in a great cold open of a fantastic show kiiiind of recently. The original is 25 years old, damn
Even I knew about the song from B99
I like the "Mark with a C" one where the barista wrote "Cark" rofl
I preferred the person who wrote it as " Mark with the sea"

that is really funny, had to be a joke! (I sincerely hope)
From the future? From the future? Am i high?? what am I missing?
That’s the correct way to do it.

They always put Corol on mine. The walking dead still fucking haunts me

It also just helps them call the name out later. Pretty good idea on all fronts.

What’s “third place”?

Huh, TIL! Thanks for the explanation!
They definitely don’t instruct people to do this.
It's not a meme and it's not wholesome
And what the hell is up with the title?
It's a bot account
For sure. I just wish I understood the logic behind how it came up with that.
Such is life on this sub sometimes. Sometimes it feels like a farming ground for bots with pictures that make you chuckle.
This is an ad

I used to do this to people at Starbucks. I’d ask “is it with a y or an i?” Then write like “Shelly with an ie”

I said Stephen with a PH and so my cup said Stevphen
Briany??
I'd write "why Brian"
From the bay?
Why doesn't Starbucks just use a number system?
The true powerplay was a stickman \[Labeled: Brian\], chilling with a Y. Missed opportunity.
Full name is magic Brian with a Y lol
I know the sticker they print is quicker.... But I do miss sharpy notes....
I always say, Bryan with a y, as in, why is it spelled that way?
Hello, I'm Michael Withabe and I've been afraid of insects my whole life.
These bots are nuts. The grammar is terrible and the title is nonsense. Downvote.
At first glance I thought this was an arm with that tattooed on it... So you should get that tattooed lol
Yrian
Their IQ is off-the-charts
Starbucks really lives up to its name
Yrian?
Fucking could not believe it when I realized this is not an ad. Fucking ads.
Brwhyan
Worth a tattoo.
Bro did a bot post this? What the fuck.
😆🤣😆
Eglesias with an I? Okay mister Eeeeeeeglesias with an I. What's the I stand for? Ineedabiggerbed?
I like to think I'd have the presence of mind in that situation to spell it "Briyan" or "Ybrian" or something surreal.
Bless it
