- We're already off to a bad start.
(laughs)
Is this even close?
- Ooh, no.
- Hi, I'm Danny.
- I'm Andrew.
- And today, we're going to attempt
to spell Latinx customers names.
I'm not going to do well, not going to do well.
I'm setting the bar low, real low.
- But yeah same, I hope I'm not getting judged by grammar,
accent marks, I'm only focused on having the letters
in the right order, that's it.
Welcome to my cafe.
How you doing? - Hi.
Doing good.
- Ready for some coffee? - Yeah.
I'm Yolanda.
- I'm Danny, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too.
My name is Yolanda.
- Yolanda.
- Yes.
- Okay.
- I'm going to guess we're going to start with a Y.
- It's good guess.
- It's a good guess?
- I like that guess.
- Is it a great guess?
- You seem confident.
- You know.
- That was fast.
- I'm not going to overthink it.
- Okay.
- Is there an accent over this A?
I'm gonna go ahead and put an accent over that A
just in case.
(bell dings)
(buzzer buzzes)
- You got it. - Bing.
Bing.
- That was so easy.
- Is this even close?
- You got all the letters.
- I got all the letters.
- I don't have an accent.
- Well, extra effort, but still wrong.
Hi there.
- Hi.
- How you doing?
- Hi.
- Danny here.
- How you doing? - Hi.
- You look like a tea person.
- I hate tea.
- You hate tea? - I hate tea so bad.
- Hopefully I can spell better than I can guess your drink.
- Would you like to spell my name?
- Yes I would.
- My name is Hasenna.
- Hasenna.
I can say it as many times as you like,
that I will do for you.
Hasenna.
- Hasenna. - Hasenna.
- Exactly.
- Got it.
- All right.
- I'm going to take a bold leap
and say it starts with an H.
- Possibly.
- It's entirely possible.
- It could be silent.
You know what I do know is this is probably not right.
But it's an earnest effort.
(buzzer buzzes)
- Ooh, no.
You're like so close.
- I'm so close.
- Actually, that's really good.
It's an S, not a C.
- It's an S.
- N-N-A.
- N-N-A, two E's Two N's?
- No.
- Oh.
- One E, two N's.
Why did you know that you had to double something?
- Because my name has double N's.
- Danny's kinda known to have double N's.
Is Hasenna known to have double N's?
- Well you're the first Hasenna I know,
so all I know is a double N.
- Hello there, how's it going?
- Good, good.
Ivan, nice to meet you.
- Danny, likewise.
- You got oatmeal here?
- We've got nothing.
- Who am I making this for?
- For Ivan.
- Ivan, yes.
- I've seen it spelled so many different ways,
that I'm not scared.
- All right, my goal has been to not overthink it.
- Okay.
I like that.
- So I think I'm just gonna go with my gut.
- I'm gonna go I, imma go V, imma go A,
and I'm gonna go N.
You end Ivan in an N, right?
- I think I'm gonna keep it simple.
- Is that your final answer?
- Should it be my final answer?
- I don't know, I'm asking you.
- Oh man.
- But then, are there any accents?
You know what, you know what, if we're going to go strong,
we're going to go strong.
(bell dings)
(buzzer buzzes)
- That is correct.
- What?
She did it!
- I am surprised that you did the accent, too.
Wow, that is almost correct.
And the only thing is, and I know that it's kinda hard,
because this is more Spanish grammar,
but we have an accent on the A.
But like goes like this.
If you do the accent, i'll probably tip you double.
You did it.
- Fantastic. - High five.
- All right I want you to be my barista every morning now.
- Hello, thank you for having me.
My name is Isla.
- Isla.
Like the island, or the fisher.
- Isla.
- Okay, I'm gonna take a guess here.
- Okay.
- Isla.
- See it wouldn't make sense to put an accent anywhere.
But that doesn't mean that I can't be wrong.
You know what, my gut says no.
Isla.
(bell dings)
(buzzer buzzes)
- Do we have an accent mark right here?
- That's an accent mark at the end.
- Okay, no accent mark.
But it is spelled correct.
He got it right, perfect.
- I got it right?
- I-S-L-A, yes, no accent mark.
I-S-L-A.
- I just got knocked for not having an accent mark,
I was trying to throw one on there.
- I'm really surprised you didn't
put an E in front of the S.
- Well, if you just watch any like
"Pirates of the Caribbean" movies,
you should know how to spell this name by now.
- Honestly truly.
No one else has spelled it right at Starbucks
the first time, so you got a point for that, very good.
- Hello.
- Nice to meet you.
- Danny, here.
- The name is, EliSamuel.
- Okay.
- Elise, I'm so sorry, we're already off to a bad start.
Could you say your name one more time?
- My name is EliSamuel.
Oh wow, you're just going for it.
- I'm just going for it.
- You're just going for it.
- I'm just going for it.
- Oh no, we're going to go with an E.
We're gonna go with an L.
Is your name Biblical?
- It's a very biblical Puerto Rican name.
- Yeah.
- And I was recently at the island, and they said
it is the bro-iest Puerto Rican name.
EliSamuel is essentially the equivalent to Chad
on the island, so, I'm like the Puerto Rican Chad.
Which would've been easier for you, but.
(bell dings)
(buzzer buzzes)
- Oh!
That my friend is correct.
- Oh!
- Damn, he just went for it!
Okay, okay.
- Accent marks.
- So, you pretty much got it, but you put Manuel.
I'm quite impressed, I thought you we're
gonna actually get it.
- See, my instinct was Eli Samuel,
and then I went, Nah fam, we can't do that.
- It's really that simple.
It's like Ricky Bobby.
That's the thing with people, they overthink it
'cause they hear the Latin twang,
but you were just like, screw it.
I'm impressed, I feel like there's a connection here.
- I appreciate that.
- You know, I appreciate.
When I see you walking down the hallway,
i'll be like, hey, this guy knows my name.
- Oh God, well thank you for your patience.
- No problem.
- You're wonderful.
(bell dings)
A gentleman's agreement.
- Okay.
- I think the moral of this story
is if you follow your gut, you'll get them right,
which is why I got them all wrong.
