Pronunciations

We have products that are relatively easy to pronounce for the average person, but we don't serve the average people..as you've read thus far.  Below is a list of items spelled correctly and also listed is what they're called by the customers.  Some of these I don't know where they come up with the names they say.

Correct                                                      Incorrect
Sutter Home                                               Suttin Holmes, Shutte House, Holmes Shutter, Sut House, dat
Salignac                                                      Saginac, Sawginaw, Shagnas, dat
Mogen David                                              Morgan Davis
Seagram's                                                   Sigmunds
Svedka                                                       Sawetka, Shedka, Veedle, Skeva, Sweatka
Remy                                                          Remedy, Ramsedy
Hpnotq (they get some room here)              Hiptoliptic, Hiptonotick
Beringer                                                      Barniger
Arbor Mist                                                  Arrow Mist, Arnor Mist, Arbo Mish

These are just a few.  The worst is when they just point to an area and say "dat".  The title of this blog is "wat-dat-do".  This comes from the customers pointing to an area and saying I want dat and also asking the most popular question in the store, "wat-dat-do?"  None of us know what to go get or how to answer that question.  As I've learned, sometimes it's best not to ask because you just don't know what the answer will be.
