How did they spell your name


Transcript:

Hi! So today I learned something very interesting about a barista. A barista is a person who takes your order, let's say for coffee, and then after the order is ready, they call out your name so that you can come pick up the order.

So today we went and we placed an order on my wife's name. My wife's name is Madhuri — M-A-D-H-U-R-I. Madhuri. And when we got our order back, we noticed her name. Her name was spelled as M-A-R-G-U-R-I-D... M-A-R-G-U-R-I-D-E-D-E.

And then I realized that the barista doesn't have to spell your name exactly as you spell it. He or she needs to spell it so that they can make the sound that is close enough to your name. So ""Madhuri,"" as written as M-A-R-G-U-R-I-T-E, was close enough to the name Madhuri. And we got our order.

It's pretty interesting. Bye!
