 "almost sure asking me out"
Almost sure? When someone directly asks you to do something with them and "hang out" you still don't know if they want to.. hang out with you?
Some guys are so aloof. Yes. It's not even a hint, it's a direct invitation.
But if they just say they are bored? Could be they mope to everyone, or it could be they actually do want to do something. Why not ask? What have you got to lose? If they so then that would be the end of that, no worries. It's just a no, not the world going under.

I would say that this is most likely a girl who isn't relationship material, so if that's what you want go for it.

 This is just me and maybe I'm wrong, but if a guy told me he was bored and he wanted to get together to relieve the boredom, I wouldn't take that as a sign that he was interested in me as a person, but rather that he was just looking for a distraction from his boredom and I happened to be around. It probably wouldn't work for me as a chat-up line. I would also think it was a little bit unprofessional to tell a customer that you are bored at work, if this was what she meant.
Having said that, it really depends how it's said - tone of voice etc. Is she flirty?

That girl does have the nerve telling you she is interested to you in a different way but still means the same way.
Go and get some nerve to ask her out.

 You could always address the issue head-on, and say to the lady: "Well, (her name here), are you telling me that this job provides you no stimulation - mental or otherwise - or are you using the "I'm so bored" line to indicate to me interest in me... and you'd like to get me to ask you to meet outside of your boring job????"
That should work....
Good luck...

 the best way to figure it out is ASK HER OUT... clearly you are interested in her and are looking for reciprocal feelings.... ASK...

 i hear alot of girls at my work saying they are bored, so i would say it does not mean an awful lot. However if they are saying to you we should get together to take away the boredom then you can take this as a sign of interest. Bit like saying do you fancy going on a date tonight but using different terminology, go for it i say, and good luck
