Laura: The Last Airbender
(I’ve just ordered a coffee and have been asked to provide my name for to be called out.)
Me: “Laura.”
Cashier: “How is that spelled?”
Me: “L.”
Cashier: “K.”
Me: “No, L as in ‘Lima.’”
Cashier: “That doesn’t start with a K.”
Me: “I know. It starts with an L.”
(She shrugged and wrote something down on the cup. Several minutes went by and everyone’s name except my own was called, until there were no customers waiting. I asked about my order and the same cashier presented my cup. When I looked on the cup, my name was spelled “Korra.” I can’t remember if I heard it being called, but it sounded familiar enough that I Googled it. It’s from an “Avatar: The Last Airbender” spinoff. I guess the cashier was a fan.)
