Normally people do say something. That said, most times that sort of compliment is the lead-up to asking their number and nothing they have not heard before.
I can fully understand acting as if the comment never happened to avoid that. Having been asked out by customers myself, while flattering it really is also a hassle.
If you're looking for a date just treat that as a polite no. Wish her a good day, a little thanks for the food or something and move on.
If you are only trying to make a nice comment, convey that early. Showing your intentions makes it easier to react genuinely to things.
Well you were likely the 1000th guy to pretty much hit on her.
Did you care what type of day she was having or anything about her?
it’s similar for barmaids they get this pretty much all the time.
she's not paid to engage you in conversation, she’s after the next person in-line.
Also from sound of it there was zero communication before that, she basically had some random yet again come out with some bollox.
actually well done on her not coming out with ‘yeah whatever, next customer please’.
The fact that you’re expecting an endorphin rush in return from her gratitude kinda showcases your motives behind the “compliment.” A pretty girl appreciates something you did? If that’s all you’re looking for, maybe better off not being so “kind” she doesn’t owe you anything. She doesn’t know you, you’re not friends. You don’t know anything that’s going on in her head, her past, her life. It’s nice to give compliments, but only if you mean them and aren’t just trying to satisfy your own desire for attention. 🙄
If she was young and you are much older then it probably felt creepy to her that you were looking at her and told her she is beautiful. She probably felt uncomfortable with you checking her out and played it down so you wouldn't bother her. Young women are very cautious about who is checking them out and why. You are the one who should have just said thank you and drove off.

There could be a few reasons:
1. You may say she's pretty but she doesn't think so
2. She may think your compliment is flirting, and she's in a relationship
3. She may think your compliment is the first step toward having sex with her, and she's not interested
You need to establish an emotional connection, get her thinking about you in that way then try to progress into touch, you can't just drop a bomb like that on most girls & expect it to pan out & if it did I'd be wary. Need to be more adept at reading body language & eye contact. That tells you everything you need to know. Reading retail can be difficult because those people are paid to be friendly.
that’s a weird time to give a girl a compliment she prob thought u were a creeper. only give girls compliments on their looks that ur already intimate with. If you lead with it, girls see it as you putting them on a pedestal and think they have the upper hand.
If you give a compliment just to receive a response then your compliment is empty.
Maybe they don't hear you, or mishear you, and they also don't owe you a response.
Sometimes you scream into the void, and that's just life.
Cause your a creep ; The reality is that she is nice to you because it s her job. leave her alone . If she seams interested she will let you know. tip her well is a starter.
1) never flirt with someone on the job
2) the compliment was a bit much for a drive through. And she prob gets it a lot.
3) perhaps think first about your own delivery instead of automatically blaming the chick
It's because you complimented her while she was being paid to be nice to you. True, a simple thank you would have been nice, but no offense, she was just doing her job and didn't owe you anything.
I would also be confused if someone tried to hit on me while I am clearly trying to work. The convenience of a drive through is quickly getting customers the takeout they ordered. Did you confuse the drive through for a strip bar?
Depends. If she hears it with every guy she meets. I bet it can get annoying. Or she didn't find you attractive and got offended. Maybe she was in a bad mood. Who knows. But a little odd to tell strangers that.
Probably because she either doesn't believe it or she doesn't appreciate it. Either way, it's a red flag.
How come men think that it's okay to make inappropriate comments to women in a professional setting? And why do you think that commenting on a woman's appearance entitles you to anything?
She was possibly shocked because it came out of nowhere and didn't know how to respond in the moment. Or maybe her mind was elsewhere, I mean she was at work. Or maybe she just didn't hear you? Drive through workers are fucking deaf sometimes.
Political correctness huh? I remember a time before all of that.
Wel the least they could do is say thank you.. to me if they dont say anything move on she's obviously not nice.
You're not hot enough and some women are plain mean.
Because they hear a lot of people saying things to them everyday they try to tune it out
You creeped her out. She knows you want to fuck her even though she is a complete stranger and that made her uncomfortable.
Where did you ever get the idea that that was acceptable in a workplace setting?
Women are entitled arrogant children who believe any male who isn’t a greek god speaking to them is equal to a sex crime.
