038: The Starbucks Interview Spelling Test

– All right, congrats. Welcome to the final round of the interview.

– Thank you.

– One quick last thing that we like to go over is checking your spelling skills.

– Sure thing, all right.

– There are a lot of people coming in got to spell their names right.

– Yeah, I understand.

– Real simple, nothing to worry about here. Gonna start off with a lob, pretty easy, Mike.

– Now is that a Mike with an M?

– You're… Okay. I'd be worried there for a second.

– Yeah, right. Mike.

– That's Myke with an M.

– Okay.

– Okay, another one, John.

– I'm sorry, could you please use it in a sentence for me?

– Yeah.

Just, “Hi, I'm John.”

– June.

– That's John. I'm looking at John.

– Hey, let's go with Amy, my wife's name.

– I think I got all the letters there. Let's check that out.

– Amy. It's actually exactly how my wife spells it. Here comes a curve ball…

– Uh-oh.

– Dan.

– I actually don't think I know any Dans.

– We actually get quite a few Dans here on a daily basis. Call them our “Daily Dans.” You don't want to disappoint them.

– Okay.

– Perfect! Lisa.

– I think that's pretty close.

– Shading is a little off on the left clavicle but yeah! Not bad. I'm just realizing I don't even know your name, and I guess it's good a time as any, ask you to spell that.

– Okay.

– Justin.

– Yes.

– Great, I think you've passed with flying colors here. One last question, can you make a cup of coffee?

– No.

– Great. Can you start tomorrow?

– Yeah.
