Huh. I never actually considered that, in-universe, they're not unnamed. Good point.
And I see your point with a/the, but I still think we should try to avoid sentences like
- A waitress was a 21st century human who worked at Happy Cook.
I mean, that does kind of sound like I'm claiming that all waitresses came from the 21st century and worked at Happy Cook. Obviously, I don't mean that. But, if we're not to use "the" unnecessarily, how better could we phrase it? Does
- A waitress from the 21st century worked at Happy Cook.
sound more like I'm referring to one individual waitress?
