Have you ever flirted with a customer while you were at work?

[Logorithim]

I did do this sometimes as a young adult. Would never do it now, even if I were single.

[GuidoThePizzaMaker]

My co-workers all go nuts, when a pretty girl comes by.
I have a manager who will stop everything just to talk to these ladies lol
Its super cringey, but it works more often than not!

[DECENTSCOTTISHLAD999]

l done it when l was younger but l still like to flirt

[StingRayxoxo]

I'm was never much for flirting but there were a few times I was overly-friendly when I was a waitress-- smiling and visiting tables more frequently.

[Jamie05rhs]

Did they ever pick up on your hints?

[StingRayxoxo]

I don't know... nothing ever came out of it so probably not.

[Jamie05rhs]

From a patron's perspective, I will tell you that sometimes it's really hard for us to tell. Because sometimes I think they're just trying to get a bigger tip. And in that case I try to gently give them hints that they don't have to work so hard. (Because I don't have a bigger tip to give them, no matter how nice they are. The funds just aren't there.). In other words, sometimes I'm semi-rude to them on purpose, so they won't come around as much. Not totally rude, just semi-rude.

[TexasBorn217]

No way. But I've had them and co-workers flirt with me. I felt guilty about it though.

[PrincessGrail]

If you mean my brief stint in retail, never.

[JoseJr]

You bet, worked at an auto parts store and females always wanted "help" with their car. Im always willing to help (especially If im gonna get paid). 2 in particular that I won't forget. A short girl named taylor, she was upset because she went to 3 auto parts stores and none of them had the spark plugs she needed. I had them and just teased her that I didn't. Plus she was short so also cracked a couple short jokes and before leaving she left me HER number in case SHE needed to contact ME to fix her car 😂 Second one was a girl came in with a lease car that she messed up the front bumper on. I ended up not having. But she said she would just get one from the dealership and would take it to mechanic to fix... I told her I could do for half price... she jumped at it. We talked, we flirted. My co workers jumped in and flirted with her too, Took my phone and gave me her number, called to save it from her end. Messaged me as soon as she left. We talked and... eventually we started dating... we still dating 😂 and for you guys wondering I did end up replacing and fixing her car (before we started dating) and I did get paid 😂

[SueShe]

No, that is not my type of behavior if I were to work with contact to customers.

You always must keep a certain distance with customers and flirting is, as the definition says, is a way to behave as though sexually attracted to someone.

If I were the boss/owner of a company and my employees would start any sexual approaches with customers, that would be a ground for sacking the employee.

You can (and should) be polite but nothing beyond that and certainly not flirting.

Just imagine a nurse or doctor that does not keep the distance to his/her patients just because they wear a hospital pyjamas.

[Knighted2170]

I have once or twice in the past when I worked retai. It’s not a regular thing as I always try to remain professional.

When it happened, it was usually the customer who initiated the flirting. I went along with it, if she seemed to have a few of the traits I liked. If not I pretend like I didn’t hear her.

I don’t flirt with “customers” now. All of them, for one, are criminals. Second, they are all male, and I don’t go that way. On the few occasions that I run patrol, most encounters with women are not exactly what you call pleasant.

[MLGbreezy]

Yeah actually she was this cute curvy Latina with curly hair and I asked her if she had a boyfriend she smiled and said I have many and then she said why are you tryna come through smiling and I was like shit maybe I should have gotten her number cause I definitely needed all of that in my life hut I didn't I was at work so I kinda psyched my sleep out didn't wanna get her number and then get a call from the manager at my phone register that would have been no good but yeah that was a successful one other than that I usually just give compliments to some cute girls it women 😉

[WhiteSteve]

That’s how I met my lady lmao. And a bunch of others😅😅😅 I was a bouncer at a couple of bars, so that kind of came with the territory.

Also, I worked for Hollister Co. and Abercrombie & Fitch back in the day, and sometimes they’d send us around the mall to “recruit” attractive people to come and work there, and we were expected to try with customers as well. So I of course took that as “hit on every hot chick that comes in and maybe nudge her towards the application kiosk, but if she doesn’t, still proceed with hitting on her.”😂

[Wishfire17]

Not a customer, but I have flirted with co-workers before. It is not something I will do in the future though. There is just too much room for lawsuits and getting fired. Thankfully I got lucky and anyone I have flirted with, actually liked me back.

[MusicMayhem]

No but they've flirted with me.

Though I work in sales so I probably should flirt with them. Probably don't cause I'm not very attractive and don't want complaints against me. Still, anything to get them in a good mood will help me influence their buying behaviour.

[Daisy007]

NOO i work with middle school students so don't exactly have "customers" xD & plus they're to young i would not do that :/ some of the staff has attempted to flirt with me though...

[Pink2000]

Yes I have. I worked at Freddy’s frozen custard and I was doing drive through and I met this guy and he was kinda famous. He was a rapper and I got his social media. I didn’t even think he was that cute. I was just doing it just cause...

[MLGbreezy]

Lmao 😂😂😂

[Pink2000]

@MLGbreezy lol

[Jamie05rhs]

That's amazing.

[midnightmoon05]

I did when I was a cashier, was a teen. Not really flirting (didn't know how back then)
He would come with his basketball. I used play with my HS friends. We started to talk, he asked me to play. We did.
Later on in life, I did flirt. I thought I was just being nice. That got me in trouble. Lesson learned.

[Jamie05rhs]

How did it get you in trouble?

[jp612612]

Yes. I worked Internet tech support when I was in college and this customer and I flirted back and forth during a couple of support calls. It even got to the point where we exchanged pictures -- she was huge. Ever since then, I always assume that any Internet girl with a great personality is at least 250 lbs.

[normalice]

When I worked as a waiter at Denny's, yeah. Once, I flirted with a girl and ended up banging her before the night was over. That we a good day.

[normalice]

Was a good day...

[Ecologygirl76]

Yeah. I'm super shy so they probably didn't notice though

[jonesjessica812]

You never grown our of shyness. Now that you're 27?

[Larajeanfake]

While I was bartending and serving, yeah. But I only flirt if I like them.

[rjroy3]

I never initiated it, but if a girl was flirtatious and I was into it I would certainly entertain her.

[Jamie05rhs]

Girls have flirted with me before, and I knew they were flirting, but I didn't flirt back because I didn't know how.

[Lgmswolf024]

when I was helping out in a restaurant as a waitress there was this cute guy and he wrote his number on a napkin and gave it to me when I was walking by 😂 we're good friends now

[OrangeBoy2]

O... never say never...
It will always depends on the person, or not?

I have never, but I would have no problem doing it if I was obvious intrigued by the person.

[the_face_of_god]

I wouldn't dream of it especially in 2019, even if she's really flirty which happens after a few drinks. I try to keep it professional.

[dublin_sexyeyes0]

Yeah in my days working in HMV and previous music shops i dated and had one nighters with many customers. Really enjoyed it.
