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.
