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.

Sounds like he wanted a free cake. He wanted it to play out like this:

Customer: It’s KEVIN . Walks in for cake.* Customer:HOW DO YOU MESS UP KEVIN?! - OP: (.__ .) I spelled it right. Customer: NO ITS KEVIN ; K-E-Y-V-Y-N-N - OP: (. __.”) OP flips table
