Latte please

Down town with Jessica, I ordered a cup of tea;

Jess: - A cup of coffee, please. Uhm…let’s go for latte.
Waitress: - One cup of tea and one latte [laahtey].
Me: - It’s latte [latte]…not laahtey.
Waitress: - ??
Jess: - Michel, please. Shut up now.
Me: - It’s annoying.

Why do they have to pronounce it laahtey, what’s wrong with latte. It IS latte, should be.

Huggies and kisses
/Michel
