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.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.

seriously, was that necessary ?
The Baristas at Starbucks know coffee 1000x better than any schmuck at Dunkin Donuts ever would.
AND they speak English!
