The girl working the counter was very attractive and I found myself chatting with her quite a bit while she filled out paperwork for the watch I decided to purchase. She was very nice and told me some things about herself, to include that she had moved to this area 2 years ago, and that aside from working in the jewelry store, she was also a model (quite believable, as I said, she was very attractive, and hey, no rock on her finger!).My question is this: When a girl working in a store appears to show interest in you, what is the likelyhood her interest in genuine? As a customer service representative, it seems to me that there is at least a good chance she is only being nice and laughing at my jokes because she's paid to be friendly, and possibly gets a commission for the sale.Is it even a good idea to hit on girls while they're at work? I'm sure a girl like this gets that enough, what with being beautiful (and a model no less). I just wonder how much I can trust the results, and how to gauge her reactions if in the back of my mind I'm worrying the whole time about her motivations (is she interested in me or just making a sale).

 I am in sales, salespeople are chatty and they build rapport by trying to be personal with you and find some common ground.
You have no basis to determine that she is interested in getting to know you or date you based on a conversation had in a department store while buying a watch.
If you want to ask her out on a date, then go back to the store and tell her you enjoyed talking with her the other day and ask her if you could meet her for coffee somewhere in the mall after her work or on her break sometime and then go from there. If you want to ask her out, ask her out, there isn't any laws against asking a woman out no matter where you run into her, but make it a safe date in a public place for coffee so that she can leave after awhile without having to end the date on her own...
