New Name

I'm always having "issues" with my name. I don't understand why the name "Chris" has to be so difficult, and yet it is. Especially for employees at Starbucks. One time I said my name was Chris and they said, "Beatrice?" I said, "No, Chris." They said, "Beatrice?" I said, "NO, CHRIS." They said, "Oh, ok." When they called out the name for my coffee they said, "Grace."

The other day while I was at Starbucks I told the girl my name and she said, "How do you spell that?" I said, "It doesn't matter you'll pronounce it the same no matter how you spell it." She gave me a look as if to say, "Now, don't be sassy with me, Miss, just tell me how to spell it." In response to her look I said, "Q-U-R-I-S" of which she apparently found hilarious. She wrote it on the cup with a little face sticking it's tongue out.
