lost in translation pt. 2

Tonight, headed to Shake Shack for a burger and fries.
Receipt said my name was: DIVI

hmmm….missing a few letters I said.  oh well…

lost in translation…

Stopped at Jamba Juice during my walk around Manhattan yesterday and heard some interesting takes on names at the pick up counter (including my own)…

JAMBA GUY:  “order for Killy…original Strawberries Nirvana.  Killy…Killy, anyone?”
GUY:  “uhh..that’s my order i think.”
JAMBA GUY:  “what’s your name?”
GUY:  “Billy…”
JAMBA GUY:  “oh haha..I don’t know how your name became Killy.  Sorry about that.”
JAMBA GUY:  “order for Dani…16oz. Strawberries Wild…Dani…”
(no one is moving….)
JAMBA GUY:  “k, anyone with an order for 16oz. Strawberries Wild please come and get it anyway.”
ME: “ um…I got that order, but that’s not my name.”
JAMBA GUY:  “what’s your name?”
ME: “Vivien”
JAMBA GUY:  “k, well this is the only order of this i see on here, i guess it’s yours.  Have a good day!”
