I refuse to call them baristas. Would you call a dunkin donuts worker a barista? Or a mcdonalds worker? They both get coffee for you. Just call them a fast food person like any other fast food place. You're not talking about some person who knows a heap load about coffee and blends his own. It's some high school/college student getting paid slightly above minimum pushing "brew" on a machine.

The Baristas at Starbucks know coffee 1000x better than any schmuck at Dunkin Donuts ever would.
AND they speak English!
