That barista charged me four dollars for little more than a medium cup of pulverized ice mixed with some powdered flavoring, in addition to a nice shot of her ass whilst bending over to retrieve some whipped cream from the under-counter fridge. She's just an apron-wearing whore

A coffeehouse chain from India, which started in 1997. Has over 100 outlets. This would be the Indian equivalent to Starbucks. It gets the same uber-cool status in India, that Starbucks has across the world.

A hypercorrect false Latin plural of 'barista.' Typically ironic, indicates blanket disdain for all baristas of the pseudo-intellectual breed.
1. Baristae are the worst of the hipster lot.
2. Yeah, to look cool, the baristae at Sam's Cafe on 42nd were reading Ovid in the original Greek.

A person who works in a coffeeshop. More than likely, a person who puts up with large variables of bull shit from snobby customers throughout his/her work shift.

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.
