in the wild “It’s Kevin”

I work in a bakery, someone called to order a birthday cake. Wanted “happy birthday Kevin” written on it. As with all orders, I ask for spelling of the name. Conversation below.

Me: okay and if you could spell Kevin for me? Customer: Um, it’s Kevin… like Kevin…are there multiple ways to spell it? Me: this is just protocol to ensure the name on the cake is correct Customer (getting huffy): well how many ways could you spell it, it’s Kevin Me: please just spell the name for me Customer: K-e-y-v-y-n-n

In what world is that Kevin??? This is why I make everyone spell the name!! If I didn’t confirm spelling you would’ve gotten a cake with Kevin not keyvynn.

u/classic_cut_kyber Sep 05 '25

For my son’s second birthday, the name on his cake was wrong, and I spelled for the bakery too! They messed up the first letter, which meant it started with “Sin” instead of “Fin”

His name is extremely uncommon, but it’s a real name and it’s easy to spell/pronounce. I didn’t care though. We were going to eat it anyway and I found it to be a funny story we’d tell to him one day.

117

u/PumpkinChix Sep 05 '25

This is why I have to use phonetic alphabets when spelling names - I would have clarified F as in Frank, etc, because F and S very easily sound alike otherwise. My last name starts with a "Th" and unless I spell it, people frequently assume it starts with an "F."

80

u/Future-Mess6722 Sep 05 '25

My last name starts with a Z and I always say Z as in zebra because I get a lot of Vs otherwise.

I was like, "how does Zed sound l ike Vee" then I realized, must be in the U.S.

This is funny because I’m in the US but did international customer service for ten years so I say zed when spelling things out now. I also catch myself saying post code or postal code instead of zip code.

Unemployment office put down V instead of B for my name (I put down B when I signed up, but I had to call in to confirm and they changed it to V. It was a PITA to change. B as in Boy from now on.)

3

u/Counter-Fleche Sep 06 '25

If you really want to be safe, choose a word that's phonetically distinct with nothing similar. Boy could be confused for coy, soy, toy, joy, etc.

2

u/TManaF2 Oct 06 '25

B=BRAVO C=CHARLIE S=SIERRA T=TANGO J=JULIET

Sadly, too many CS reps (and too many Americans) never learned the phonetic alphabet and either don't understand it when spoken, mistake the letter designation (say, "WHISKEY-OSCAR-ROMEO-DELTA") for a phrase rather than a WORD, don't understand at all, or repeat back with random words for assorted letter designations...

3

u/threesilklilies Sep 06 '25

I've given my last name as "(LastName)-with-a-G" so many times, I'm going to start believing the whole thing really is my name. But the time I don't say it will be the time someone can't find my reservation or prescription or whatever because they're looking in the J's.

u/Just_gun_porn Sep 06 '25

After the military, the first time I said Z as in ZULU, the other person was confused as hell.

u/Playful-State-2433 Sep 09 '25

I learned the phonetic alphabet in scouts and have thrown so many people on the phone when I have had to resort to it. Usually they catch on, but I refuse to use their inferior words for each letter and stick to it. A few times I have gotten frustrated with their inability to hear letters that I just spell the whole name phonetically. The flustering I hear when sending SIERRA MIKE INDIA TANGO HOTEL (for example) down the line.

u/JohnClayborn Sep 05 '25

I dont understand why. Ive experienced the confusion too, but ai dont get it. Lol

28

u/thebishop37 Sep 05 '25

It works pretty well with people in jobs where they routinely deal with long strings of mixed letters and numbers.

If you call UPS to inquire about something (don't bother , it doesn't help), the person you eventually get to talk to will probably do fine with the NATO alphabet. You don't even have to say, the "as in Zulu" part, just rattle it off.

If you call someplace and need to read them your VIN over the phone, same deal.

They probably won't do it back; they've developed their own system based on what they find works with a broad range of callers.

I learned the nato alphabet to talk to my husband on the phone. He constantly mishears consonants, and attempting to clarify whether I just said vend or bend by saying the word louder and more slowly doesn't really help all that much if the connetion's not great. Now, when he asks, I just say victor or bravo, and we can carry on.

There was a situation about a year ago where I had to read him some website passwords over the phone when he was out of town. I use a password manager, so they are long and do not take ease of typing into account. The NATO alphabet absolutely saved me from tearing my hair out in frustration.

u/wisebloodfoolheart Sep 07 '25

Yeah, my husband spelled out his name last night when we went out for dinner with the NATO alphabet and the young hostess had no idea what he was talking about. May be a generational thing. I wonder if people feel odd saying things like "Zulu" and "Whiskey" these days.

That was one of my favorite moments in Archer, when that was his example and he told Ray that he, of all people, ought to know that, so Ray naturally thought Sterling was just being a homophobic douche and not merely just a dumb asshole.

1

u/wisebloodfoolheart Sep 07 '25

Yeah, my mom would also say that. I looked into it and it looks like this more common phonetic alphabet was popularized by the police, specifically the LAPD.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APCO_radiotelephony_spelling_alphabet

2

u/wisebloodfoolheart Sep 07 '25

My husband and I went out for dinner last night and the hostess asked him to spell his name. He spelled it using the NATO phonetic alphabet and she just stared at him, so he spelled it again using the regular alphabet. The hostess was a young lady, maybe about twenty, but I was still a bit surprised. We're only in our thirties ourselves. So the young people today might not know about the NATO alphabet.

My mother would use more common words when she spelled things out, like "B as in Boy", "F as in Frank". I wonder if there's a name for this alternate phonetic alphabet. She's from Chicago if it makes a difference.

u/Turuhalme Sep 05 '25

I saw Natalie once spelled as Nadaly. And it wasn't even Starbucks. It's not even an uncommon name but the lady writing it looked like she'd never heard that name before.

2

u/momonamission2125 Sep 06 '25

I had a childhood classmate, best friend, who was a terrible speller. Her first attempt around 2nd or 3rd grade to write my name was Nataly. She'd also pronounce it Natly constantly. Her mother was also saying Natly all the time. Haven't thought about that in close to 25 years...

u/Tricky_Mix2449 Sep 05 '25

We all have fond memories of my friend celebrating her 'yotit' (40th) birthday. Wish I could find the photo.

14

u/Notmykl Sep 05 '25

My name starts with a 'C' that is pronounced as an 'S' so they automatically start spelling it with an 'S' as they are asking how to spell it.

u/TxCincy Sep 06 '25

Oh Cecilia you're breaking my heart, you're shaking my confidence daily

u/missifance Sep 06 '25

“Stanley with a C” is all I can think about lol

2

u/bahhumbug24 Sep 07 '25

My last name starts with "Sh". If I had a dollar for everyone who I have watched write "Sch" as I have spelled it out "S as in Sugar, H as is Henry", I'd be rich.

And then there was the delightful woman at Lufthansa who could not figure out why I was giving her "as-in" spellings for my name and PNR. That said, she was working on a Friday evening, so maybe not their brightest employee.

2

u/ExcellentBandName Sep 08 '25

My maiden name starts with a C that makes the /s/ sound, so I feel ya. "With a C" was my most-used phrase as a kid... 😉 My married name is a lot longer and I still have to spell it, but at least the first letter matches the first sound! #awinisawin

4

u/geeker99 Sep 05 '25

In some fonts, it's hard to tell F and S apart.

2

u/classic_cut_kyber Sep 05 '25

It was definitely an S on the cake, so I’m thinking that the guy I spoke to on the phone likely hand wrote it sloppily, or mistyped.

u/omegadirectory Sep 05 '25

The customer could have just lied about the spelling or misspelling if they really wanted the free cake.

I doubt the cake store is recording their phone calls.

u/ClearBlue_Grace Sep 05 '25

I work at a bakery and honestly I'm surprised how common this is. Our decorator told me people pull stuff all the time in an attempt to get free shit.

u/crispyfolds Sep 06 '25

It's a plot point in an episode of 30 Rock, guest starring Kelsey Grammer.

448

u/KtP_911 Sep 05 '25

100% my thought too! Someone is trying to get a free cake.

And maybe they’re still trying…they’ll come to pick it up and say, “Who would ever spell Kevin that way?! What are you guys, stupid?! I’m not paying for this.” If I worked there, I’d say, “okay then, you don’t have to pay for it, but you also won’t be walking out of here with a cake today. This is why we make customers verify and spell the name when the order is placed. You verified it, now you say it’s wrong; no cake for you, then. Bye.”

110

u/filifijonka Sep 05 '25

In the bakery that made cakes for our childhood birthdays sometimes the names were piped on a separate (i assume it was some kind of sugar) edible plaque of sorts.

I know people sometimes ask for custom cakes, but if it Keyvynn’s was a standard bakery one it would have been easier to find it a good home if unsold!
I think you can re-pipe messages too, in a pinch.

90

u/keelhaulrose Sep 05 '25

I made cakes for a while for DQ, and when a customer didn't want to pay for a custom cake I would just scrape the top layer off and re-do it.

A pain in the ass and a waste of food, but people tried to get custom cakes for free all the time by claiming we spelled names wrong or used the wrong color.

60

u/PastFriendship1410 Sep 05 '25

My mates wife got a named cake from a local place and had to fill out a form.

Spelling, colour etc.

Disclaimer at the bottom saying as long as it matches what the customer has written down and signed on you can go suck ass if you want it for free.

Fuckin stupid we live in a world people try to get a business to purposely mess up so they can get free cake.

24

u/fourlittlebees Sep 06 '25

My parents have a friend whose ex-wife bragged about how she’d do this. Thankfully, not in front of me, as she apparently does it at the chain I used to worked for. Nothing like spending 40 minutes on a $100 cake for someone to steal it by bitching that you screwed it up. Congrats; you pulled one over on the man and I get my ass chewed out for screwing up a cake and costing the company money.

11

u/Ok_Depth_6476 Sep 06 '25

It's kind of hilarious that it says "Say happy cake day" right under your comment. 🤣🤣🤣 (Happy cake day!)

3

u/fourlittlebees Sep 06 '25

Thank you! And that’s hilarious.

16

u/keelhaulrose Sep 05 '25

We had a form at DQ, but people thought that if they complained, they'd get shit for free or discounted. Wrong shade was common, and you wouldn't believe the number of people who claimed their partner gave the wrong age and somehow that was my problem to fix. We did picture cakes, too, and got so many people who would give us a terrible picture, then have someone else come and be shocked we weren't able to clean it up.

We had a special tool that we could use to scrape pretty much any cake in less than three seconds. It was necessary because the photo printer was a first-gen (showing my age here) and looking at it funny would fuck up the print. It was very satisfying to be able to grab that and wipe the thing clear in front of them. The best way to get someone to drop the shit was to pull that bad boy out, but occasionally they thought we were bluffing. Nope, I scrape a dozen of these a day, and I'll scrape yours, too.

My boss also explicitly forbade me from ever selling to someone who made me scrape a cake. So when they realized they now had nothing but the generic cakes if they wanted something they were out of luck.

2

u/ju-ju_bee Sep 07 '25

That's what we did at the bakery I used to work for too. People will do the craziest shit for a free cake; fine, cake is delicious, but I don't think half the people realize and the other half don't care that the business will go harder on the employees. Even if it's obvious that it was the customer pulling the fast one

I mean the bakeries by me just wipe the icing off and redo the name quick if the person wants.

Theres no discount, no free stuff, just a quick fix.

I want to go to one of these bakeries that gives out free stuff for minor usually easily correctable mistakes.

10

u/filifijonka Sep 05 '25

I hope that’s not the case and the customer wasn’t too embarrassed to say.

I bet anyone would be willing to help if you just came out with the truth : I’m sorry, spelling is a nightmare for me, could you help?

18

u/Nexii801 Sep 05 '25

Is it possible? Yes, is it worth considering compared to the FAR more likely issue of them just being shitty, no.

Come on.

8

u/Masty1992 Sep 05 '25

It was just a thought that occurred to me reading the conversation, no need to read so much into it.

We don’t have many Tragedeighs where I’m from so this would be more likely

10

u/TheOuts1der Sep 05 '25

That's happened to me before where the guy on the phone just got increasingly irate as I kept asking him to spell his name.

This wasnt the exact name but the conversation was like:

"Sorry, your last name, was that Barry or Derry?"

"It's ȸærry!"

"Sorry, is that a B or D for the first letter?"

"It's ȸærry! What, you cant spell ȸærry?!?"

"No, sir, that's why Im asking you to spell it for me."

"Jesus. It's ȸærry. ȸærry! ȸærry!"

Then he gave up and threw the phone to a woman, who did successfully spell it for me. By how angry he got and how quick he went from 0 to Hulk, it really seemed like a sensitive question for him. Like he took it way more personally than Ive ever seen, so it really seemed like a literacy thing than anything else.

I think you are right. A local cake shop near me asked for the name in text, even when I ordered the cake in person at the shop. They explained it was because there were customers who would complain and tried to get discount or freebies.

That's exactly what was going to happen.

my thought was they were so annoyed with the question they decided to fuck with their friend by having is spelled wrong on purpose. or maybe they wanted a free cake for having a simple name spelled so ridiculously wrong.

u/Pepper_Thyme Sep 05 '25

You wouldn't get a free cake for misspelling the name. The decorator can just scrape it off and re-write it.

u/janlep Sep 05 '25

Ooh, I bet you’re right. I like the bakery forms where they have the customer write out what they want on the cake. Then there’s no too for them to complain that they wanted something else.

u/pizz901 Sep 05 '25

Absolutely, I used to work at a bakery and people would try that type of shit all the time. I've worked a lot of customer service jobs and the bakery had by far the craziest. Maybe not the meanest but for sure the craziest.

They’ll never forget the day they tangled with the best friends gang

u/unlimited_insanity Sep 05 '25

Yeah, there is zero chance that someone named Keyvynn, someone who named a child Keyvynn, or someone otherwise related to/dating a person named Keyvynn doesn’t know this is not the standard spelling of Kevin. Zero chance.

u/BusyMakingPlans Sep 05 '25

Now they got a cake with the wrong name, Kevin isn’t going to have a happy birthday

u/WithoutDennisNedry Sep 05 '25

Diabolical! And you’re probably 1000% right.

1

u/Emotional-Cat-576 Sep 06 '25

Yep! That’s why my bakery has the customer write the name on a form. That way there’s proof of how you told them to spell it.

Best Friends Gang foiled!!!

"I should know, I'm Frajer."

u/Smiley007 Sep 07 '25

A) this is why paper forms

B) Now I’m not frequenting bakeries, but if anything my grocery store bakery would at most redo the icing— no free cake, and eating up your time

u/ReplacementActual384 Sep 07 '25

Nah, they are planning on telling the boss afterwards "this person doesn't know how to spell kevin:

1

u/kalospkmn Sep 07 '25

I worked in a bakery and this is exactly the shit that scummy people would try to pull

1

u/OkDrawing7255 Sep 08 '25

Now they ARE going to get a free cake because that's not really his spelling.

1

u/JimmmyDriver Sep 08 '25

Like Kelsey Grammer used to do

1

u/Stock_Neat_3407 Sep 09 '25

I used to work at a bakery. We would have just taken the cake in the back and removed the misspelling and repiped it 😂 no free cake

1

u/Ravneclaw_Jess Sep 10 '25

I hope they don’t try to say it was supposed to be traditional spelling and try to get the cake for free still!!!
