I was proposed to by a drunken polish customer once as well .

They weren't actually drunk, just putting it on to make it less obvious that they just needed to marry you to stay in the country!

I lived beside a shop this year for college, was in there most days.
The girl eventually asked me out as we chatted a bit now and again. I declined rather politely as I was in love. It does happen and fair play to anybody that has the guts to do it. I have a hard enough time asking somebody out without a pint first and knowing they like me. In a shop, I'd find it impossible. as customer or as employee.
I was and would be flattered again though.

Heh, go Tar!

Personally, I tend to partition things so I probably wouldn't think of asking someone out at work. Unless I was really desperate! But I don't see anything wrong with it once it's done in a non-sleazy way.

Reminds me of a film, "As Good as it Gets," Starring Jack Nicolson and Helen Hunt. She was a waitress and they ended up becoming an unlikely item.

Jesus, I forgot you or anybody on here would know her too.
She is nice, I hope the Amy Lee lookalike in Argos asks me out next year. I'm moving up to chain stores now!

You are just not adept at noticing hot girls yet. I noticed these ones sharpish!
Or maybe you are above giving any notice to such tea serving plebeians?

Did you even notice they were ridiculously nice and chirpy in the shop, like the Brady bunch tbh. :eek:

Women are rivals to each other, you were the competition, or they were shy and wanted to ask you out. Brady bunch mind games.

Buying toilet paper and milk... not as simple as it seems. o_O

Tar.Aldarion · 06-07-2006 04:30AM

A good humanities thread mayhap?
You are not fooling anybody, you no good non toilet paper buying roommate, it was tea and milk with some more tea please. The truth? You can't handle the truth!

No, she moved to France.

Dermington · 06-07-2006 11:18AM

I have been going into this shop in town for a few months and every Saturday I used to go just to see this girl who worked there.

After seeing her 5 or 6 times working there, and having mini conversation with her about work and the weather etc etc I eventually asked if I could buy her a drink while she was getting my change and she said yes.

So yeah I would ask someone out if I liked them regardless of the location.

My hairdresser (who I have been going to for over two years and always have a good chat with) asked me out on a date last time I was getting my highlights done. I nearly died. I said that I was a bit busy as was travelling with work but "maybe sometime" and then had to sit while he stared at me in the mirror while blowdrying my hair for 20 minutes....!!!Don't do it!!!:(

So, do you still go to that hairdresser...

i work in a shop some evenings. sometimes when fit girls come in and ask for credit i tell them that the new way of doing it is i take your number and send the 12 digit code in a text. i'd only say it to the ones that are regulars and i would talk to sometimes.

i have met two girls over the counter but wouldn't be to eager to do it again. the first one was ok until i decided to cease contact. its hard when u work in their local shop! the second had a happier ending!

Two nights ago, Lucinda Creighton (Fine Gael) ( http://www.lucindacreighton.ie/ )
was in my street canvassing. I told her I wasn't particularly interested in Irish politics but I asked her if she fancied going out with me some time. She politely declined. I've also asked out our census enumerator (got her number, she was very hot) and Sinead Pembroke, SF candidate for the ward. I've actually no intention of going out with any of them but I'd love to have seen Sinead trussed up in my bedroom naked 'cept for a balaclava

. I can't wait until the Jehovies call round...

Stupid typos.

There's a girl in Eason's that is always very nice to me... she is so enthusiastic when she hands me my receipt and change that I end up spilling coins all over the floor and I have to scramble around after them... this seriously ruins the 'daddy cool' image that I'm trying to portray.

This has happend 3 times now.

lol! If you can't vote for 'em, **** them

Victor · 08-07-2006 07:49AM

I'd only do it with people I know, not 'randomers'.

One of the girls at work was asked for a kiss there and then.* :eek:

* Both were sober.

Red Alert · 08-07-2006 09:52PM

I'd do lots of things with a few of the girls at work.

There was this seriously hot girl working in Dunnes in georges street a while ago. Very happy individual in the early morning when i'd stumble in for an apple on the way to work.

sturgo · 08-07-2006 10:44PM

I worked in bars in Australia for a couple of years. Aussie girls are fairly upfront when it comes to dating, so there was no problem asking customers out for a drink. To be honest I did it as much as I could get away with (Ahh the filthy memories).

I ended up going out with a girl for 6 months all because I gave her free drink one night. Were still in contact, and that was 5 years ago.

So I'd say go for it. Apart from your job, what's there to loose???

AngryBadger · 08-07-2006 10:44PM

Yeah I've done that, but then i am a filthy sinner

Ballerina · 08-07-2006 10:56PM

i was having dinner with a friend and as we were leaving the head waiter who hadnt actually been serving us told me our waiter wanted to know if he could have my number but that he was too shy to ask me himself.i gave it to him cos i didnt want to be mean

but id never actually looked at the waiter properly so didnt text him back cos if he had been hot i DEFINETELY would have noticed!maybe i missed out on the love of my life but meh probably not!!;)

Lump · 09-07-2006 08:49AM

When I worked in Statoil, a girl there used to write her number on the back of receipt paper and hand it to "Fit" guys. I never would, but I'm a bloke, and that'd be wierd.

KamiKazi · 09-07-2006 02:29PM

im a barman, and youd be suprised how many numbers youd get when working in the nite club..

about a year and a half ago i used to work in a hotel, doing functions and the like. the amount of girls you could pull at debs, college gradutions etc. was unreal.
all those empty bedrooms ya know, had to make use of them:p

Naw, this isn't dating co-workers, just customers. It seems totally bizarre to me. Like "here's your change, oh and I slipped my phone number in there too". I don't see how it'd work at all.

Why? You only live once.

Chakar · 09-07-2006 06:12PM

Totally there was this really hot girl in the tesco near me and I had a great time chatting to her like "hows things".She's not there any more so its a pity.

Cake Fiend · 09-07-2006 11:18PM

I've been asked out by customers a couple of times, but I think the other way around would be inappropriate unless you had gotten to know them pretty well and they were obviously interested.
