When I'm out picking up odds and ins or just getting food/coffee, there always seems to be girls who are working that are cute and are giving me some IOI's. Normally when I do day game I take more of an opportunistic approach and look for the girls throwing off some approach invitations then playfully open indirect direct. Something along the lines of "what's a cute girl like yourself doing here alone on this beautiful Thursday afternoon?" said with a smile of course and a playful tone of voice. Works great on girls who are just out and about; it gets an easy conversation going if they're interested, it lets them know I'm interested and I can tell it makes their day either way. But it's a different story with girl who are on the job. I'll give a scenario that happened recently and it will give you some insight into my mindset with going for girls who are working.

About a 2 months ago I sat down at a local Starbucks to relax and read a book when I noticed a cute girl who was working there. She was cleaning the floors out of my line of sight but at the exact moment I looked up from my book she walked in front of me. She didn't look at me the first time and I just went back to reading but about 15 minutes later she walks by again, I look up and we make eye contact so I give her a sexy smile and morph it into a warm slow smile within about 2 seconds. She smiles, looks down and starts getting super jittery/starts walking hurriedly. It was almost like an awkward spaz attack a girl gets while having an orgasm. lol If that's not a clear IOI I don't know what is.. Anyways, nothing else happened that time because she went to her car since it was the end of her shift.

Went back to that Starbucks at different times during the day that next month (Maybe like once a week hoping I'd run into her but I never did). Didn't go again for about a month until this Monday.. She was working in the drink making area this time so I gave the same warm smile and she smiled back and asked "where I've been" since she hadn't seen me in awhile. We never said a word to each other that first time I saw her so obviously she was digging me. I said "I've been around, where have you been?" which she told me she's been busy with school and work. I ordered my drink then went to the other side of the counter and asked her what she's going to school for, if she's from the area, etc and she asked the same back to me. Just basic questions to have conversation, didn't have enough time to deep dive her. Once my drink was finished I playfully said "I know we're in a coffee shop so this is kinda cheesy but we should grab coffee or a bite to eat some time when you're off." It was an error on my part not to wait till another time when I could isolate her and ask that but I figured with this girl I couldn't lose since she was throwing me so many signals. Basically she threw me under the bus by pausing for a second (She didn't really know what to say) but then she laughed and said she doesn't like coffee as she looked over at her manager was right there. I told her "That's okay, I don't really like it either." as I held up my green tea, smiled and walked off.
I think this ones salvageable but the problem is all of her coworkers and her manager saw her blow me off so now when I walk in there, she has the power and she'll want to stay congruent in their eyes so any other attempts I feel she'll blow off as well.

Tonight I was picking up a new pair of shoes and the girl working the floor was giving off some IOI's (side glances, playing with hair, smiling then looking at the ground, etc). I asked her to find a pair of shoes for me and then we started joking about how her coworker was making her do all the work. Just playful teasing, it wasn't meant to be a funny joke but she was giggling and smiling the whole time. She rang me up as well but same scenario; she was next to a coworker so I learned from my mistake and just told her thanks for the help and that I'd see her around.

I feel like these girls are interested but I just need to be careful and make sure I get their numbers/set up dates in the right way.
Have any of you guys had much success with going for girls while they're working? If so, what do you do to avoid them throwing you under the bus in order to save face, even if they're pretty clearly interested but they're with coworkers? Any feedback on my interactions would be great and if you guys could give some examples of successes you've had that would be awesome!

Thanks!

Fuckin frustrating this, I had almost the exact same situation to what you describe (last Friday morning)... well I didn't grab the number and cursed myself afterwards for being a pussy, but OTOH reading your post now I may have made the right decision, one day soon she'll be alone in the store, I guess...

I have tried writing my number down and discreetly passing it to target (after intense flirting and then pestering her for a date, so it didn't look creepy or surprising), but this didn't work, they never texted me. Useless! One time it did work but this was with a waitress who was simply being cautious in not giving her number and getting mine instead (not a coworker issue). In the case that worked I drew a funny cartoon and thus invested some effort in having her call back... you could try this... or maybe just have some interesting calling-cards printed?

I dunno, it's a shit situation with no good answers. In Tuesday I met a new waitress in a restaurant where I'm a regular, and was pretty direct with her, she was fuckin hot... but I could see boss getting a little impatient so I went and introduced myself to boss too, charmed her and deep dived her and cracked jokes like "Next time I speak to the staff I'll wait till you're not looking" to which she replied equably "Oh no that's okay go ahead"... so this's another approach you can try :)

PS Never get out your phone -- discreetly ask them to write the no. on your receipt. Better still, and I'm gonna try this soon, memorize it, at least till u eject and can safely put it in your phone.

They are just girls, working... I would be careful to ask for a coffee in front of her boss, depending on a company or manager they might have training to respectfully refuse... Maybe she wanted to say yes, but she couldn't... You then walk away with nothing while she was open to give you her number...

She is working there and she might just appear that she is interested. It's her job to be nice to customers, sometimes you just don't know... I would probably try to figure out more clever way to ask her out, perhaps little bit flirty, maybe something like:

"Hey, I know that you are only working here but if you weren't, I would definitely ask you to write down your name and number on my bill". This way if she's not interested she will just laugh, and if she is she will give you her number....

Thanks for the feedback guys.

ray_zorse:
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who has been dealing with this. In my opinion, I think you did the right thing by not asked the girl at the store for her number. Might end up being a blessing in disguise! Next time I'm in that scenario and I sense some tension and we're flirting a bit, I'm going to try to isolate the girl for like 15-30 seconds and go super direct to screen her QUICK! Something like "Hey listen, I know you're at work so you might just be doing your job by being nice to me right now but I think you're cute/funny/interesting and I'd like to get to know you when you're off the job sometime. Would you be interested?" No time for beating around the bush when she's on the job. I'll try it when the next opportunity comes and post an FR.

That line is awesome man. I'll try going super direct and also go indirect direct like this and see which one feels best! thanks for the advice

Girls at work..I'm still tryin to score on that one. "Shit situation" describes it perfectly ray_zorse. Some great examples for openers though. Definitely going to put those to use.

For cafe/restaurant girls who are dropping IOIs I use a little tactic that NJ passed on to me a while back.

Write your number on a piece of paper, hand it to her, and say "Hey, I didn't want to embarass you while you were working but here" and it's really that simple.
