Some things are heartwarming.
Some things are heartburning.
We have things to deal with the latter

Did they misspell "his" name?

It’s hard to misspell Mary.

They'll call you anything you want at Starbucks. Just order and get out of the way.
But if having a minimum-wage barista call you by a name you've chosen makes your day or your year, by all means go for it.
Not surprisingly, there are T on Twitter who are upset with the ad because it includes James' "deadname."

Uh huh. Why do they get their name called correctly but I get called Germaine when my name is Johnathon?

I love Starbucks coffee. I even buy it to take home to make coffee in the morning. But I am balanced. I also like Chic fil a.

Starbucks coffee is carcinogenic.
