A poorly paid individual who politely endures the torture of rude posh customers every day they are at work. They are usually extremely interesting and intelligent people, yet are submitted to constant patronisation and unnecessary abuse by the individuals they serve.
Identifying a Barista:
They often show fabulous abilities in memory...
Customer: "can I have a large extra hot soya 2 shot latte, 3 small cappuccinos, a medium wet chai latte, and a tea with 2 tea bags...to take away?"
Barista: "No problem"
They are identifiable by their muscular arms built by carrying enormous trays of dishes and coffee beans across their store...
"Look at those arms on her!"
"Yeah, definitely a Barista"
When a Barista approaches, you will smell them before you see them, and can hence never be tired in their presence..
"Do you mind going on the sofa tonight? You smell of coffee so much that I can't sleep!"
They are faster than ninjas with their hands on that coffee machine...
Barista: "Your coffee is ready madam"
Customer: "Woah already? I hadn't even reached for my purse yet!"
They are polite, despite being continually tested by rude people...
Silly individual: "I want a filter coffee with no milk please"
Barista: "Sure, here you go - enjoy!"
Silly individual: "I WANTED MILK WITH IT, WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID?"
Barista: "Oh, I'm so sorry sir, here's your milk"
A Barista is always hard working, yet underestimated and under appreciated by many.

Get the barista mug."Every day, we went skinny dipping in the canal until one day, this great big Barnsley trout floated by."

Get the Barnsley trout mug.A female (the male term would be baristo) who holds up the line at a fast food soda fountain because she fills her drink then leaves it in the way so she can get a lid, sugar, straw, etc. instead of moving the drink out of the way.
She doesn't care that she's in the way and holding up the line. In fact, she may feel so important that she is entitled to do this!
It's the same kind of conceit that one finds in people talking on cell phones while driving too slowly and not paying attention to others.

Get the soda barista mug.When one has an unexpected semi erection.
Derived from Football commentators saying "and barnsley with an unexpected semi" whenever the team gets to the semi finals of anything.

Get the Barfscream mug.A Barista (coffee maker) expressing attitude. Typically found in 'third wave' coffee venues - Baristatude can mirror arrogance, intellectual elitism and various other cultural prejudices, ultimately expressed as less 'customer service' and more a side order of distain and contempt.
I asked the barista what an Aeropress was, and he scoffed and explained it to me like i was a 4 year old. God damn that guy has serious baristatude
