The humorous misspelling of names on customers' orders at various fast food type establishments are typical occurrences shared on social media.
Many incidents range from downright hilarious to borderline offensive.
But one situation in which a customer was misidentified and was not having it went viral.
TikTok user Joyce–a.k.a. @afro_carribean7–posted a photo of her Chick-fil-A order with her name misspelled by a drive-through attendant who apparently ribbed her for having a lisp.
She had interacted with an employee who pointed out the fact that she had the speech affectation–one that causes those who have it to pronounce "s" sounds as "th" sounds.
She commented in the viral clip:
"Dude was like, 'oh that's cute.' I said 'What's cute.'"
"He said, 'You have a lisp when you talk.'"
Because when Joyce received her order, the name printed on the label that was slapped on the box of her grilled club with pepper jack cheese was spelled:
"Joyth."

We don't know who "Joyth" is, but our narrator Joyce wrote in her TikTok caption:
"Now Chick-Fil-A know damn well they wrong for that."
The caption was followed by the hashtag, #lisplivesmatter
As of this writing, Joyce's clip was viewed over 4.3 million times.
People fell out of their chairs after hearing Joyce's story.

The worker may not have had any intention of being mean-spirited.
But since he already acknowledged her "cute" lisp before, what he typed out on the keyboard was probably a little insensitive and presumptuous to think he had an established rapport with Joyce.
Some people were convinced he just typed out what he heard.

Regardless of what actually went down, watch out, Chick-fil-A dude.
She knows where you work.
