Here is something I have always thought to be true:
If you go to a food service-type industry, and the person serving you interests you, it is not entirely wrong if one were to make some sort of 'move' toward the person, perhaps in a subtely manner which may or may not end in the reception of a phone number.
However, unless provoked, the person serving, unless attempting to simply milk a tip from the person, should not directly hit on any customers.
Does anyone else agree? I work at an ice cream shop, and during the summer, there are plenty of...well...chances.

I think I understood the last sentence though... if you work at an ice cream shop I'm pretty sure you can get anyone to fall in love with you, it's almost an unfair advantage, but hey everybody's gotta get something. So own it! Flirt away, it'll be fun, and possibly good for business. [ spacefem's advice column | Ask spacefem A Question ]
