The name challenge is back

Just like this instance, the past comes back alive. I am now known to my local Thai food restaurant as Sealan when I order takeout:

How Selina translates to Sealan is still puzzling to me. What’s also kind of funny is that the server is MAMA on the receipt. And guess what, the restaurant name is Ma & I. Coincidence?

Whenever a customer calls in to place an order, they ask for your phone number, which then directly links your name to that record. I have ordered here several times, so my customer record sits in their system. A simple solution is to have them correct my name the next time I order, but after further thought, it might not be worth the time, unless I feel that my receipt has some value. Or maybe the two-minute interaction with the cashier has some meaning. Maybe not.

I have decided that my name isn’t really that challenging, but it does have some variations. After all, it’s only nine letters in total.
