That's okay, a guy came into Dick Sporting Goods asking for Horandy Satbots.
I bet on the very rare days when you're tired and cranky you just want to look at those people and answer them honestly, "No sir, no Horny Satbots here. Try Walmart."
You are so right....Also had a customer insist than Franchi was Franichi...I just smile....
I can't talk because my mother's famous in the family for mispronouncing stuff on a regular basis.
I always pronounce it with the 't'. Just like I pronounce Fillet, hoping to annoy any Frenchmen in earshot
(Yes, I know I'm on shaky ground with a name like DuBois. But those frogs kicked us out 350 years ago, and we've never looked back!)
How about Heckler & Koch, everybody pronounces it different. I heard somebody on the history and or military channel pronounce Heckler & "coke". Don't know if that's correct though

You think this one's bad:
I had a customer come in and for a "Bow-zay Waaa-vey" radio.
That's right kids, he was looking for a Bose Wave radio.
And he meant it. I looked at him and said "You mean the BOSE WAVE radio?"
Egads people are stupid.
