“My barista “
Eh, it's common terminology though
my doctor, my hairdresser, my mechanic, my lawyer. Doesn't imply a class structure IMHO.
All of those examples are people you usually specifically select. "The barista" should be fine
Who's to say the person isn't a regular at a particular coffee shop with a particular barista? Frankly, it tracks with the discussion of medication dosages, which would be weirdly personal otherwise.
That's fair
Those are all people that you do have a 1:1 relationship with. For a coffee maker, even if I liked it, you don't make an appointment with Barista Brandi.
Would you prefer "the coffee wench"?

Bean Maiden, please.
Yes!
actually yes.
huzzah!
the chick/dude at the coffeeorium works.
You're right. They definitely should have taken the time to type out "The individual working at the coffee shop who filled my order" to avoid triggering people who have nothing better to do than get angry at the internet.
"The waitress"
