Is it a bad idea to shoot my shot with a customer? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by majik_rose
So there’s been this one guy that comes into the stores I work at (a licensed store on my uni campus and a corporate store nearby) pretty regularly basically since I started, and I’ve had a little crush on him basically since I started working. I’ve never been able to say anything besides small talk, but I’m interested in trying to start something. Side plot to the story I recently redownloaded tinder and apparently I’d matched with him 4 months ago so I know he’s somewhat interested, at least back then. I’m thinking next time I see him I’ll write my number on his cup or something but I’m not sure if it’s a bad idea (or a “professionalism” issue or something). I really am interested in seeing if I can take things anywhere, I’m just on the fence bc I wouldn’t want it to be a situation where I end up making a customer uncomfortable and he doesn’t come back. :(

Why not just message him on tinder?

Never a bad idea. You only have one life to live and as long as you can be adult with whatever outcome occurs then do it. Only you will know if the moments right based off your individual store

Technically it’s not the most professional thing and I’d recommend to do it off the clock like via the app you matched on, but if you already matched, I think you’re probably fine. Though with it being 4 months ago, I’d use spoken words and not secret written messages in case he’s seeing someone now.

Yeah that’s kind of something I was worried about, I did actually message him there but he hasn’t responded again, which is pretty typical ppl don’t check tinder regularly out here lol. I’ll probably just be up front and ask 🤭🤪

I'd just be casual with it. You say you're able to make small talk - bring up a subject that you two connect on. Movies, a new restaurant in town, etc. Then you can move into gently asking if he'd like to do something with you pertaining to said subject.
So if you have similar tastes in movies, bring up a recent release. Discuss it briefly and say you were planning on seeing it soon and if he'd want to join you. Or on the restaurant subject, maybe you're looking for a good Mexican/Italian/etc. place, and if he has recommendations. Would he be interested in joining you for your first visit there?
Basically, try to keep it super casual and platonic to start.
All the best of luck to you!
