A woman was outraged after a Starbucks misspelled the name 'Virginia' as 'Vagina'.

The customer at the coffee shop in Hong Kong ranted on their Facebook page, calling the error "unacceptable".



"This is my sister's cuppa from your HKU branch," she posted. "Fancy your staff not being able to spell an American name like Virginia. Forgiving she has been with every misspelled cup.

"Her cup was once 'Virgin'. Every Starbucks experience for her has been coupled with fear and anticipation. But THIS is just UNACCEPTABLE.

"Starbucks HK, you have to buck up or just not spell your customer's name anyway. It is a derogatory attitude even if it is unintentional. What do you have to say about this?"

Reaction to the post from other Facebook users has been mixed, with some arguing that it is perhaps harsh to expect perfect spelling from local Chinese staff.
