It is a really cute idea. Raena is a clever one!

But yeah, don't say "It tastes funny." That WILL throw him off. He'll be in "work" mode and not in "flirt" mode.

Just say something flirty like, "You know my name but I wanted you to have my number too." Or something like that.

Of course, that is really close to asking him out.

Then don't expect him to ask you out since you won't do it.

I would emerge more upset than anything. The rejection is not worth it, essentially.
Is being rejected worse than getting a "yes", then discovering on the date he's totally the wrong guy for you? That's usually what happens.

A woman at my college tried this game playing nonsense with me last semester. I knew she was interested, but I didn't ask her out because she felt entitled that a man should pursue her. I don't play games with women at all. Maybe this guy senses the same thing and doesn't ask the op out.

Based upon my 400+ visits to 25+ different Starbucks I can say the following: 1. If you are going to do something do it quickly,the turnover rate is astronomical, 2. I estimate 40% of men working at Starbucks are gay. 3. They almost all work part time, thus, you would have to go everyday to see him twice a week.
