How do you know if a shop assistant likes you or just being nice?

I don't normally get why people ask this question but my friend says that I'd be a fool if I didn't even try

I was away shopping with a few mates today, I went to this one shop and as soon as I walked in this girl came over to put a shirt back and asked asked if everything was OK, I said yeah fine thanks just looking. 5mins later she came over to us again and asked if I needed any help, I said no thanks, just waiting for him now and she laughed and said "Oh, one of those guys eh?".

When we went to check out my mate went first and just as I was about to be served she came over and opened a second till and asked me to come round (only 2 of us in the line anyway). She asked how I was, and how my day was going, so I answered then asked the same, she said "oh, well I'm good thanks, would be better if I wasn't stuck in here on such a nice day" Then she smiled and said well I hope you have a great afternoon. On the receipt she circled the return within 14 days of purchase bit.

I didn't/ still don't think too much of it, only as staff being polite, but my friend kept saying she was into me and I should go back and get her number, then when I asked about circling the receipt he was like well they didn't for mine, then said it's obviously a hint to go back.

Just out of curiosity, what's your views?
