Norwegian soccer star Erling Haaland says he wants to own a farm after he retires
"Being on a farm... driving a tractor, feeding my cows, that's the dream."
Barista's been spelling my name differently every day for six months to see if I'll notice.
Started normal. "Mark" on the cup.
Next day: "Marc"
Day three: "Marq"
Took me two weeks to realize it was deliberate. "Mhark" gave it away.
Me: Did you just spell my name with an H?
Her: Did I?
Me: M-H-A-R-K.
Her: Looks right to me.
Me: It's absolutely not right.
Her: (shrugged) Your coffee's ready, Mhark.
Started paying attention. Every single day, different spelling.
"Marek" - Eastern European apparently.
"Märk" - with an umlaut for no reason.
"M@rk" - she drew the @ symbol.
My coworker noticed.
Coworker: Why does your cup say "Mrk"?
Me: She's messing with me.
Coworker: For how long?
Me: Months.
Coworker: Have you said anything?
Me: She knows exactly what she's doing.
Day 47: "Quark" - not even close to Mark.
Me: That's a subatomic particle.
Her: It's also you apparently.
Me: Why are you doing this?
Her: Doing what?
Me: You know what.
Her: I'm just a humble barista making coffee for... (checked cup) ...Quork.
Me: You changed it again while I was standing here!
Her: Must be a glitch in our system.
There was no system. She handwrote them.
Day 63: "Employee of the Month"
Not even a name. Just wrote my job title.
Me: I don't work here.
Her: Then why does your cup say that?
Me: You tell me.
Her: I just write what I hear.
Me: I said Mark.
Her: Sounded like Employee of the Month to me.
Started getting competitive. Began pronouncing my name more clearly. Over-enunciating.
Me: MARK. M-A-R-K.
Her: Got it.
Cup said: "Bark"
Me: That's a dog sound.
Her: Is it?
Me: You're doing this on purpose.
Her: Would I do that, Shark?
Me: Now it's Shark?
Her: (pointing at cup) Says so right here.
Day 89: Just a drawing of a question mark.
Me: This isn't even letters.
Her: You're really hard to spell.
Me: It's four letters!
Her: Is it though?
My girlfriend came with me one day. Wanted to see this legendary barista.
Girlfriend ordered first. "Sarah" - spelled perfectly.
I ordered.
Cup said: "Sarah's Boyfriend"
Girlfriend: (laughing) That's amazing.
Me: It's psychological warfare.
Her: It's coffee.
The barista smiled innocently.
Started tipping extra just to see how weird it could get.
Day 112: "The Guy Who Tips Good"
Day 120: Just a smiley face.
Day 131: "Mark (allegedly)"
Yesterday she spelled it correctly. Just "Mark" in normal letters.
Felt wrong. Missed the chaos.
Me: You gave up?
Her: On what?
Me: Misspelling my name.
Her: I never misspelled anything.
Me: Six months of evidence says otherwise.
Her: Prove it.
Me: I have photos.
Her: Of cups that could belong to anyone.
Me: They all have my order on them!
Her: Lots of people drink oat milk lattes, Marble.
Me: You just did it again!
Her: Did what?
Today's cup: "Guy Who Falls For This Every Time"
She's right.
I do.
Worth it though.
Makes my morning.
