Some people just can’t spell my name correctly

This occurred last Friday but I didn’t get a chance to post it on here until today. I dropped by the local Starbucks in Marina del Rey on Friday morning to pick up a Moca Frap. If you’re not familiar with ordering drinks from Starbucks, they usually ask for your name to help them remember which drink was for which person. Now I’m used to people butchering my name every so often but my goodness, the guy at Starbucks really topped the charts. Before today’s butchery, I’ve had people spell my name as follows:

Alex
Phelix
Philix
Felic
Phillip
Felip

I’ve never had someone spell my name “Phillicx”. That’s right.. Phillicx. Don’t believe me? Check out the picture that I took of the cup. (yes one could say that the P looks like an F.. but my coworkers believe it was a P).
