Barista Character Analysis

The barista, who works at Starbucks, gets annoyed when Tariq tries to flirt with her. When she asks Tariq and Hussein if they support Al-Qaeda (because they’re wearing Muslim skullcaps and openly discussing Islam), Tariq tells her that the U.S. created the terrorist organization. This leads the barista to call the police, and Tariq and Hussein are arrested and interrogated by the FBI.
