Interesting job titles create labels for employees of well-known and popular places in an attempt to be unique and more relatable to customers.

Former Bakersfield College student Sarah Keene, 20, is required to say this to each customer when she is working the drive-thru at Starbucks.

“Welcome to Starbucks. My name is Sarah and I will be your Barista today. What can I get started for you?” Keene is a student at Bakersfield College, but has decided to take this semester off.

“I don’t know why we are required to say it to each customer, maybe so we are different than other coffee shops,” she said. “A sign is posted in the back room and everything, although I think it’s too long so when our boss isn’t here, I usually just say ‘welcome to Starbucks.’”

Other interesting job titles include, cast member at Chuck E. Cheese, Best Buy technicians are called geeks, Sonic employees are called car hops and janitors are labeled maintenance technicians. TOGO’s Sandwich’s changed their employee’s titles to sandwich artists instead of sandwich maker seven years ago. Sandwich artist Jamie Sayer said that she thinks it’s because sandwich artist sounds more upbeat.

“I have been a sandwich artist for 16 years, not just anyone can do it because there is a certain technique for making the sandwiches,” said Sayer. “No one makes fun of the job title because they realize it’s an art.”

Restaurants have a tendency to follow that path, as well by creating unique job titles. James McCoy, manager at RJ’s Bar and Grill calls his servers and bartenders “master’s of fun,” and his cooks, “masters of flavor.”

“I am really just joking when I call my employees this,” said McCoy. “But the reason I do it is because I want my employees to know that even though we are at work, we can all have fun. Really I just want my employees happy, because if they are happy then I am happy and most importantly the customer is happy. Plus I am just awesome like that,” said McCoy while laughing and giving a high five to one of the workers.
