The reason I ask is because while I've always had the opinion that employees shouldn't do that with customers, as it's improper and could get them in trouble, there's this one Instacart shopper that comes to my store often for her job (I work in a grocery store). I've seen her enough where I now recognize her, and I do like talking to her whenever she comes into my lane. Plus, I do think she's cute. I'm gonna abide by my learnset and treat it professionally, but at the same time, if she miraculously asks me out or gives me her number with intent to date me, I won't say no. I also once had a head clerk tell me about how he'd hit on customers, and I told him that was very risky. Any of you have that happen when you were hit on or asked out by an employee?

I also made a joke to her once saying if she gets checked out by the same person 3 times in 1 day, she should get a free smoothie or something haha
Have you, as a customer, ever been hit on/asked out by an employee? If so, what happened from it?
sYes, I just remembered this. Years ago when I was first married I used to get gas at a gas station in my town. There was a girl that worked there and she was sort of hot. I used to flirt with her a little bit. I think she was a student at one of the local colleges because she always had schoolbooks with her. I iused to pay for the gas with a company credit card. One day at work somebody called and asked for me. It was that girl. She got my name off the credit card slip and called the company and asked for me. She said she was having a bunch of people over on Friday and would I like to come.. I told her that i appreciated to offer but I was going somewhere with my wife. It was awkward and I had to find another gas station too. .

What an invasion of privacy right there. I'd get fired or at least written up if I did something like that.
I've been hit on by a couple of servers at wedding related events, one of which I was at with my fiance at the time (now ex wife) and the other I was both a guest and helping with catering. For me to recognize they were hitting on me shows they were extremely obvious with it as well as I tend to be quite obtuse in that department.
Been asked my age several times, telling me I don't look my age and look 14 and cute. Those guys are weird but I'm happy no one asked me out on a day. I also find it weird if an employee asks for your number and stuff, like, they're at work

Yeah, those are weird things to ask. I only ask little kids/toddlers how old they are. Kinda weird to do that to an adult or even someone at age 20. If I met that woman I mentioned almost anywhere else and I got to know her enough, I definitely would ask her out. But it is very risky and inappropriate to do that at work.
Once. I was a regular at a restaurant while I was in the military. I got the same waitress most of the time. Eventually she slid her number to me on one of my tickets and asked me if I liked her. We went on a couple of dates and those dates were fun, but we did not hit it off very well and just kinda faded out of each others' lives.
When I was at a restaurant with my friends, I asked the waitress if I can get refill of water and he went to do it. When he came back he gave me my water and a sticky note with his number on it. Funniest shit that happened to me in a while
I've never been hit on or asked out. Aside from one woman I interacted with on line and one woman a friend set me up with, women seem to have no interest in me whatsoever.

Just gotta have confidence and put yourself out there. I'm sure worse people than you have girlfriends/wives.
if I hit on a woman doing a service job I try to hit one ones where i don't have to go if rarely to because its always a chance things go sour, seems to me a lot of you enjoy shitting where you eat, at your own risk
