From Seattle PI:
It’s tough being a Starbucks barista who has to write customer names on cups.
Is it “John” with an “h”? “Thanh Ha” with three “hs?” It’s all part of Starbucks’ effort to personalize things.
But one barista got a little too personal, when a customer named Virginia ordered a drink from a Starbucks in Hong Kong. According to the woman’s sister, the drink came with Virginia’s name scrawled as “Vagina.”
“This is my sister’s cuppa from your HKU branch,” the woman, Veronica Goh, posted on the Starbucks Hong Kong Facebook page, according to various news sites. Goh included a photo of the offending coffee drink.
“Fancy your staff not being able to spell an American name like Virginia. Forgiving she has been with every misspelled cup,” Goh continued.
“Her cup was once ‘Virgin.’ Every Starbucks experience for her has been coupled with fear and anticipation. But THIS is just UNACCEPTABLE.”
The Facebook post in question was “unavailable” Tuesday morning. But you can read about it via The Daily Mail andHuffington Post.
