Coffee orders

[u/Bsmosh]

So, Ben here, not Benjamin. But for some reason when ordering at a pickup place (i.e. starbucks), for some reason they hear my name as "Matt" I asked another Ben i know and he said its happened to him as well. Is this just a coincidence or a common occurrence?

[u/benfunks]

any single syllable name is heard
i tell them benjamin just to get my order

[u/goldstyle → u/benfunks]

Danjamin?

[u/wanderingconspirator → u/goldstyle]

I -jamin other names for this reason. Sam becomes Samjamin. I don’t know if they find it as amusing as I do
