Tax Blues

[riesiel]

When tax season came around my husband scheduled an appointment with H & R Block on a day he had off but I did not. This meant that when he picked me up from work I needed to sign the papers and then we just needed to drop them off at H&R Block. I take out our tax papers and notice that my name is misspelled. My first name is Rachel, and the tax

Well, why should he read the Bible? Not everyone cares.

Also, "Rachael" does seem to be a far more common spelling of the name, IME. I know four ladies who spell it that way and only one who spells it the way you do. *shrugs*

I've only ever seen it spelt Rachel, I think it may depend on where you're from in the country.

[trialia]

Doubt it. I'm not from the same country you and the OP are.

[truecatachresis]

I can't honestly remember seeing it spelt Rachael at all, and I'm also from the UK. It looks completely wrong to me.

Troll???

Why do you care what religious books he may or may not have read? Your religion is not everyone's.

I absolutely agree!

Also, how is misspelling your name Bad Service? If he refused to fix the mistake or something, maybe. But the guy was still there, he fixed the mistake and you got your taxes in on time.

I think this belongs in Customers_Suck!

OH NOZ

I've seen both, but Rachael is MUCH more common in english speaking countries I've found.

PS: OH NOZ. SOMONE IS HAVING A BAD DAY AND HASN'T READ THE BIBLE!? D:

PPS: I've read the bible, and I would have spelled it Rachael out of reflex. Get out more.

Not everyone reads the bible, and not all translations use the same spelling. However, I think it depends on the country/part of the country a person is from and personal experience. I always make a point of spelling my own name, which os really common, but has probably a dozen different choices of spelling. So I don't see the name thing as a big deal. What I DO see a problem with is that he used innappropriate language in front of clients and I'd make a point of contacting the office manager for that branch and letting them know about the swearing.

[trialia]

Still, that's only minor bad service at best. It's not like he was swearing at her.

[nverland]

Very true, but the title of the comm isn't major bad service, just bad service. And in her opinion it was. *shrugs* I guess it's really up to each of us how good or bad something is.

[twocorpses]

According to her reply to me, he was swearing at her. And he said, apparently, that she had been spelling her name wrong her whole life. Now if perhaps she had included that information in the original post, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

[brunhildevalkyr]

And so what if he didn't read the bible? Lots of people don't read the bible. I think it's something like 1 in 4 of people in the US these days aren't Christian. On top of that, I know plenty of people who identify as Christian who don't read the bible. Thats a lot of non bible savvy people!

I suppose next time someone misspells my son's name I should think "OMG they obvious don't read Arthurian myth!!!!!"

People misspell my name so often I just come to expect it, or I point out how it's spelled before they have the opportunity to mess it up.
