Guy at Work
Hey, 19, female, cashier. There is this guy that I work with who is above me so whenever I have a problem or whatever, he is the one that comes to me. I've realized that he is quite friendly with a lot of the other women cashiers but when he's around me, he's very soft spoken. He does his job when I need him and call him over, he is just very quiet when he does. The most recent time I called him over, he came over, did his thing and while he waited for the customer to do their thing, he opened all of my bags for me and put the remaining bags in the customer's cart. I do call him over quite a bit as I am new and have quite a bit of questions but he never acts the way he does around me when he's around other cashiers. He'll go over, put his keys in the system and punch his numbers in and then leave. I was just wondering what your thoughts were on this if he likes me or not because I quite might fancy him.

Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships?
It could be as Dragonflymagic says; that he is staying around you to be supportive as you are new. Or it could be that he is quite taken with you too and since he is your supervisor it would be improper for him to come on to you. By staying with you and doing things that he is not doing for other cashiers it just might be his way of showing you his interest in you without being overly forward. He could be waiting for you to make a move that would allow him to be more open with his feelings.
What I might suggest is you ask him if he could schedule your breaks together as you would like to talk with him and get to know him. You could also as if he is available to meet after work for coffee or pizza. The first is easier as there is no commitment on either of you. Just two co-workers taking a break together. The second is harder for then there is a bit of a commitment on both of you beyond that of co-workers.
I would not go so far as meeting after work as being a date. But it could be a close 2nd cousin to a date and could lead to a relationship if the two of you hit it off outside of work. The danger here is if you do have a relationship or start one and then it as some do fails. He will still be your supervisor.

Like you said,your are still new and have quite a bit of questions so it could be that while he is there, he is hanging around longer and making himself helpful as a way to give you more confidence and also being right on hand in case another question came up.
The other cashiers I assume have been there longer and no longer in training. Now if there are other cashier trainees and he is treating them differently, maybe then something is there.
If he is in general always quiet with you and not with anyone else, perhaps he does feel tongue tied around you. I say be yourself and do whatever you do when you have interest in a guy to let him know.
If there are no rules against dating someone you work with, then proceed however you feel comfortable. You might try steering conversation in a way so you can find out if he has a girlfriend already, important to know.
An example: So what are your plans for thanksgiving? Do you have two places to go to, like your parents and girlfriends parents? Thats a bit corny and too obvious but you get what I mean.
Good luck dear
