The 'Real' Reason Starbucks Baristas Spell Your Name Wrong

"My name is Bob," you tell the Starbucks barista.

But you aren't surprised when your cup comes back with the scribblings, "Bahwbuh."

That's because Starbucks baristas misspell customers names all the time.

But have you ever wondered why?

In this video from comedian Paul Gale, we are clued in to the meaningful and ultra powerful reason baristas spell your name wrong.

Hint: It's not because they misheard you, or because they don't know how to spell "Bob." No, sir. It's a little more messed up than that.
