I’m not the biggest fan of receiving that type of attention while on doing business or on a job site for a multitude of reasons, but I can at the very least appreciate the sentiment.
In my profession I usually have to see and deal directly with people again and again, so when this type of things happens I have to make it clear my intent is only to assist them as needed professionally and anything personal will never be reciprocal. Addressing that side of things is what I absolute hate, but someone putting themselves out their I can never really hate on.
If they are an automatic 'swipe left' just tell them no politely, maybe say 'Sorry, I am taken'. If they are a possible to you, then you can suggest they come back at x time when your shift is over. This also gives you a chance to chat with him before deciding if you want to give your number.
BTW, you are stunning. Absolute pure natural beauty with a radiant smile. You are going to have this 'problem' ALOT, no matter where you work!
i work in fast food and get asked out pretty often. being pretty has nothing to do with it, everywhere i have ever worked it seems like most of the females i work with also get asked out a lot.
I'm pretty impressed by this. I have never thought to ask out a fast food worker. There's never been one I desire to ask out on a date.
I'm sure females at Hooters and Twin Peaks get date offers on a nearly daily or hourly basis, if fast food workers are getting them frequently.

It shouldn't be looked at as blasphemy. It has a place.

I would not see this as being a good use of time, but I am sure employees of those stores get hit on a lot.

Not true at all. I've learned to push back whenever I get the "I Have a Boyfriend" line. A good portion of the time, the line is untrue, and if you push back creatively enough, you'll get a date out of it.

An elaboration is necessary. All men understand it except some may need to be hit between the eyes with a 2x4, and also noting that some men are psycho crazy testosterone poisoned, and you may need to call 911 quickly! — What I originally meant was "all cool men" understand that, but not all men are cool.
Also noting that "I'm taken" may really mean "I'm single but you turn me off and I want to get rid of you ASAP." It may even mean "I'm taken but I sure wish I wasn't."
Men should be sensitive to negative vibes from women they are hitting on, and should back off when the message is really "not interested." Unfortunately some men are full of themselves and don't get it. Note that I am a man and I understand my brothers, both the good and the bad.

Wow ... talk about a back-handed compliment.

Yep. There will always be "that guy" who isn't deterred by the idea of a boyfriend (or that you said no) and hounds you into saying yes. Just say, "I don't think so, but thanks!"
Case in point:
