writes:Is it unorthodox to ask cashier out? I frequent my favorite fast food restaurant once a week which I know isn't a healthy lifestyle. About the past few months or so, a new miss around my age has been working the drive-thru. Granted, it's usually hit or miss if she's working when I visit. She's really nice and friendly with a cute smile. She'll typically have my order memorized or point out if I order something different. Even 2 weeks after one of my orders couldn't be filled due to reasons outside her control, she insisted I take up a free item I had respectfully declined before. Of course, this most likely means she's an excellent employee with superb customer service skills along with being her wonderful self. As a former cashier, I can understand the expectations of quality customer service. I've never had anyone interested in me when I worked to my knowledge, and I dared not to make the move in fear of losing my job. I want to ask her out, yet I feel like I'd be putting her on the spot. On the other hand, the only I will ever see her is if she happens to be working when I do visit. Reply to this Question

I just wish the nervousness of asking someone out would have gone away by this point in life, haha. She is a very sweet person. I just wish the encounters weren't so brief, but that's a fast food drive-thru for you. I think I may go with writing a brief note with name and phone number. Well, she already knows my name, but still haha. If she's interested, then I feel I can give more of a better impression. Thanks again!

If you don't want to make things awkward for her, then simply slip her a note and have your name and number on it. Ask her to drop you a text if she would like to meet on a date. At least with the note you are not putting her on the spot.

Very pretty. They were instructed to always smile, give a customer a great experience, and make every customer feel special.
Her smiles and politeness meant she was constantly hit-on by men or boys of all ages. Even when she was more subdued, the aggressive flirtations were politely ignored; but they were so constant she and some of the other girls were quite upset by the end of a shift. Being stuck at the counter you are a sitting-duck. You are on the job, and some customers don't have manners; and assume they can just say whatever they like. Being asked for a date being the prevalent request, aside from the food order.
If you can find a way to let her know you're sincere and remain a gentleman, perhaps she may not mind. Just remember, she's on the job and sometimes management frowns on fraternizing or flirting with patrons. You and every other guy may have the same thing on their minds.

 Yes, theres nothing to lose. Just go for it. Ive done work where I was girl at the front at a restaurant and sometimes we get cute customers. Id be flattered/floored if the cute guy I saw couple of times came up and ask for my number. Absolutely enchanted if he was a bit bold mixed with nervousness =)
Just make sure youre sure shes into you however. Some ladies are nice and will say yes to be polite, if shes interested she will be more than delighted. Theres also various other reasons she may say no too due to being taken or shes not interested but Id say wing it and ask her out. YOu have nothing to lose, she sounds terribly sweet =)
