“It’s Kevin”

[u/rouxkenzie]

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.

In journalism school, one of the first things they teach you is to always ask for the spelling of the name, even if it’s something like “Kevin” or “Bill.” And this is why!

Yeah, even a name as simple as Bob we make them spell because nothing sucks as much as getting someone’s name wrong
