A social media post by @theLKshow has been circulating where a man recalled the awkward blunder, which took place in a Starbucks coffee shop. 

In the short video, they explained: “I still haven’t recovered from when I went to Starbucks for the first time. 

“The barista asked, ‘Can I get a name for your drink?’

“I looked at her really confused and just replied, ‘I guess we can call him Bob?’”

Understandably, the barista was left majorly entertained by the hilarious mix-up. 

They continued: “She laughed right in my face.”

And TikTok users had the exact same reaction, despite @theLKshow admitting that they found the whole thing “so embarrassing.”

One wrote: “This would have made my day to be honest. That is so funny.”

A second person was in agreement, as they typed: “No I hope she laughed in a nice way because this would have made my entire day.

“That’s so cute and funny.”

A third said: “I just burst out laughing on an airplane, love this.” 

While a fourth added: “This is like that one kid who was asked to name the shape (it was a square) and instead he wrote bob or something.”

And the encounter also gave others ideas, as they said they wanted to start a “petition to name Starbucks drinks.”

The post even attracted comments from baristas, who said how they would have responded to him giving the coffee a name.

One wrote: “As a cool Starbucks barista I would have written that on the cup for you.”

And it also encouraged others to share their embarrassing coffee shop stories.

One explained: “When the barista asked for my name I didn’t hear them and said, ‘no.’

“And then they yelled out, ‘a drink for a person named no’ and I was so confused.”
