During the week I work as a barista at Portuguese restaurant.

Ahhh, the Barista. That is Italian for bartender. But, as you know, it is now used for coffee shop workers.

It is often used for coffee shop workers. I think barista has evolved into many things these days in the hospitality industry. It is the title that I use at my place of employment.

Yes. In Italian female barmaids were called baristes.

Well now the term is genderless. It can apply to both females and males, at least it does where I work.

We aim for gender neutrality these days, so we used gender less language to avoid referring specifically to males or females.
