They don't know that's rude? Or do they think the rules of etiquette don't apply to them? That's creepy, and very presumptuous. Huge turn-off. Entitlement, much?
Yeah it's rude and creepy but it's commonplace where I am.
I guess they feel it's more appropriate than actually approaching.
I've worked in several retail positions, mainly stores that sell clothes for women. My coworkers and I have dealt with men who would literally walk in the store, sometimes stare us down, give us compliments, and ask us out. I mainly get annoyed, especially when there are a lot of customers. Quite a few guys had no shame and would even ask us out when they were buying clothes FOR their S/O. It gets real old VERY quickly. I'm there to work, not date.
The best store to walk in and ask women clerks out are Fredrick's of Hollywood and Victoria's Secret. The environment there is conducive to flirty banter.
I married a guy who asked me out at work. Granted, we had developed a good rapport by that time and he’s still a keeper.
It sucks that this type of thing is looked at as blasphemy, but I, too, have asked out a girl at her work and she was probably the third best girl I ever dated, behind my now-fiancee and my first/longest real girlfriend. We only dated for a few months, because I messed things up and I still feel bad about it, because I feel like she went down a pretty bad path after things ended with us.
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take and if not for me asking her out, that's one less (and kind of significant) positive dating experience I would have missed out on.
My fiancee gets asked out at work all the time by customers. She's a manager at a bakery/restaurant type place in town. She takes it as a compliment and declines. Most of the guys aren't real pushy and back off after she declines. It happens to a lot of people. It happened to my first real girlfriend, as she worked at Subway. It also happened to the one I asked out, but she said she didn't like any of the other guys that asked her out at work enough to give them a chance.

LOL
My SIL used to manage a Victoria's Secret. They sell clothing, just like other clothing stores. The idea that they're dewy ingenues just waiting for jort-clad dudes to walk in and seduce them is a myth.

If you're pathetic and/or okay with looking like the guy who is buying women's lingerie for himself to wear.
BTW my very best and longest relationship (7 years) came out of work. She was the department secretary, she was ... doing the department manager who was married but his wife had some sort of debilitating disease. She and I were just good friends, and went out for platonic lunch at least weekly.
Some time later I had left the company and there was some sort of status change in Mr. manager's marital situation and they broke it off. I wasn't working for the company any more, she may not have either. We chatted on the phone and decided to get together for drinks, just for old times.
We did, only now she wasn't hooked up any more, and I'd always liked her raven haired good looks and hawt body, I just never saw her before as somebody I could have a sexual relationship with. I guess she liked me enough that way because it wasn't long before we were sleeping together.
Our relationship developed into a my house your house arrangement because she had a 15 year old daughter and wanted her own place anyway, and I wanted mine anyway.
We stayed together for several years, we even went on vacations together (Puerto Vallarta was best) and we had great times. After several years we had some problems and we broke up. (The several years does not include our pre-romantic years.)
I was very said when I discovered recently that she had died of breast cancer. We had lost contact and I wanted to just meet her platonically, maybe for a drink. But she is gone now. I cried a bit and maybe a bit more.
Our senses of humor exactly matched. I'll always remember the great times we had, all the laughs that came from our friendship and relationship. We spent most of our years laughing and quipping. And of course...you know.
