The Barista at Starbucks Didn't Recognize Oprah
Hi, have you heard of celebrity icon Oprah Winfrey?
Ha! Of course you have because she's OPRAH. She only needs one name for goodness sakes. But it turns out that even being as famous as Oprah doesn't guarantee you an easy time at Starbucks.
Recently, while doing press for A Wrinkle In Time, an interviewer from E! News asked Oprah, Reese Witherspoon, and Mindy Kaling which errands they do by themselves, since Oprah recently admitted she doesn't answer her phone, but she does pay her own bills.
When the interviewer asked the three who makes their own Starbucks runs, Oprah raised her hand, which prompted Kaling to joke, "Imagine writing 'Oprah' on a coffee cup." At this point, Oprah launched into her mind-blowing story. "Oh my god," she said. "I just went two days ago and the woman said, 'Name?', and I said 'Oprah,' and she said 'How do you spell that?'"
Now there are lots of potential scenarios here. Maybe the barista wanted to treat Oprah like any regular customer, maybe she wanted to triple check she got the correct spelling, or maybe she truly hasn't been introduced to the wonder that is Oprah Winfrey.
Watch the full clip below to hear the story, and then find out which of these three women pumps their own gas:
