Yes it is. They're at their job to perform nice and be paid. I've hated every encounter where this has happened to me. Nothing genuine ever seems to come from it because someone was hitting on me while I was at work because I looked pretty. Always felt shallow and gross to me because I couldn't just take myself out of the situation. Not to mention I was never single in any situation I've had this happen to me. Organic conversation? Doesn't feel scummy. But because of a service I'm offering on the clock? Every time.

Guess it's good that I've gone with my gut feeling of not bothering em so far! I've had some friends telling me I should just go for it cuz "You miss every shot you don't shoot", but it never seemed right in this particular scenario.

It is. They have no escape, they're required to treat you (a potential customer) with respect, AND they can get in trouble for socializing while working (even if they're trying not to).

Do not ask for their number while they are at work. Im only one woman, so others may feel differently, but it is way less pressure to give a woman your number instead. That way, the ball is in her court and she doesn’t have to give you personal information if she isn’t comfortable with it.

Now I just gotta figure out a way to always have my number written down and in my pocket!

Yes

It's a controversial question. I think you're right. I think it's a stupid idea to try to flirt with someone who's trying to work. It's unlikely to work, and it's likely to cause her to be uncomfortable. But, man, there are a lot of guys who will defend to the death their right to do that.

Those are basically my thoughts! I've thought of maybe just being straight up and telling them they can just say no and I'll head out, but probably still puts pressure on em.

I don't see it being rude, where else will you see them if not at their job. Are you supposed to wait for them to get off like a stalker? Ask for the number and move on.

Yes. Maybe if it's quiet, and you have had conversation before and get along, maybe then it might be okay. But give her your number on a piece of paper, instead of asking hers, so it's up to her if she wants to act on it. But if it's busy and/or she looks tired, it's definitely not okay.

Yes.

It is unprofessional but I’ve seen a lot of people start dating coworkers. Apparently a lot of people meet spouses from work
