Ever got a hand drawn red heart on your receit?

[Luopio27]

Girls, explain, what kind of mind games involve a girl in her esrly 20s drawing with a red highlighter a heart to a man's receit almost twice her age?

I was the customer, she was the one selling burgers.

I got those a lot from waitresses at places like TGIF and Hooters. Yet I suspected they did that for lots of customers. I took the whole flirtiness as part of an act to get tips and return customers.

You just made me wonder if men and women are even from the same planet.

If a guy does that, next day the angry boyfriend may be waiting in the parking lot, ready to rumble.

I've actually seen waiters and male bartenders do similarly with customers like winking at them and flirting a bit. I even befriended a bartender who was like this and I thought at first that he must be attracted to all his female customers, but he told me it's just to get them to return to his bar and he refuses to date any customer.

I guess you did the right thing because leading people on leads to trouble in business.

Now this burger joint, I dont even know how to react anymore around her. If we were both workers of the same age, it be different.

I tend to think it's rather unethical but maybe understandable for people trying to scrape together a living to try to leverage their sex appeal if they have it to try to earn more. I would prefer it if it was kept more professional. Here in Japan, most people don't do this, and it would be considered extremely unprofessional if a waiter/waitress did this, but we don't have gratuity/tipping for the most part in Japan. All the times I received things like hearts on the receipts were in the US.

I think you can just remain friendly though as a customer. Maybe not a big thing unless she shows strong signs that she's not doing this flirty act with any other customers.

Its same here in my country, Finland. Flirting and business combined is not looked up to. It gives false signals.

No I have not but I’ve been flirted with

I have encountered girls that even flirt with sex and in the end of it all claim it was real flirting without any feelings. This paradox makes no sense.

Flirting with customers is unprofessional. Even for girls.

[Iron_Man]

They’re just making fun simple conversation but you can tell the way they smile and flash their eyes around that it’s kind of like flirting

Maybe she was just trying to get a nice tip?

[Luopio27]

Tipping does not belong in the culture of my country. I used to work at McDonslds and nevet heard of anyone getting tips.
