So, I go into a local trendy sandwhich shop and this really cute girl who makes the sandwhiches as you watch says hi while I am being waited on by another shop employee. She says its been a while since I saw you in here and she starts talking and smiling. She made conversation the last time I was there also which was several months ago. I just wrote it up as her being friendly because I'm a customer. This was at about 7pm on New Year's Eve. We briefly discussed our New Year's plans but there were other people around and no shot at privacy so I wished her a happy new year's and waved buy. When I did that, she was actually standing behind the girl who made my sandwhich so it was kind of awkward as I included both in the conversation.
I know she is likely a super friendly girl, but the fact that she remembered me after at least 3 months was a huge surprise. I would really like to date this girl. She seems super down to earth and friendly. I estimate she is probably 4 years younger than me, though no way to really tell for sure. She seems very mature though. Also, there is always the extremely remote possibility that she is too young which would be incredibly embarassing. I don't think this is the case though. She seems clearly in her early to mid twenties.
If I go there again at a certain time there is a good shot I will see her, but if I do, how do I ask her out? How does one pull off the ask out where there is virtually no privacy and high potential for awkwardness?
You have a few options.......Say to her you want a word to her in private, whether that be outside in a backroom-wherever. If not that then, ask her when her next break in work is and meet her then and ask her. Or you could ask for her number as there is something you want to ask her. Make sure the ball is in your court and you have the control....which is why I advise not to hand her your business card or number.
well, you're going to have to say something while you're across that counter, even if your goal is to meet her on her break.
my style has always been direct, where privacy is optional. Make sure your body language gives the impression that you know what you're doing, and put her on the spot with a very simple question. now that can backfire, but that's the fun part.
Ask for her to make your sandwich. Then you can talk while she is making it for you. At the end of the line you can ask for her number on your receit.
I like Rance's thoughts. Just do it man. Ask her right there as you talk to her. I think she will be tickled pink to hear you ask her in front of her coworkers.
Just leave it alone unless you see her out in public. You can get her fired for asking on the floor at some places. Also awkward for you if she is young and just not interested.
I'd say = you must get tired of being around these sandwiches all day, want to go somewhere better for supper?.. If she says yeah the rest could be history.
However she may indeed be the friendly to every one type.
My Pharmacist is like that,when i come in she's smiling at me and everything is first name basis and very informal, problem is i'm a 63 year old balding fat guy and she's a mid 20's hot looking Asian cutie.. Hhhmm
Nah, no way, not a chance, she probably wouldnt like pizza and beer at the local sports bar.

Whatever you do, don't do that. All you'll score is a reputation as the resident "creeper."
In this situation, using the right approach is essential. I say ask her out over the counter, and be nonchalant. My advice comes with a caveat: if she's not interested, you'll never go there again without all of the employees bursting into hysterical laughter as you exit. Personally, I'd rather have the sandwich.
Okay. First thing's first. No stupid lines. If she's semi-hot, she gets those all day long.
Here's an idea. Go for your sandwich when things are kind of slow, say after the lunch rush when no other customers are there. Order your sandwich, then chit chat with her. If she keeps talking to you, then she wants to talk to you. If her eyes glaze over or she starts doing something more important such as counting the drink tops, then she's just been nice to you all these months.
But let's assume she's still talking to you. If that's the case, and you're getting prolonged eye contact, then look her in the eye and say, "Look, I know this is weird, and I never do this. But I'm enjoying my conversation with you. How 'bout a cup of coffee? Just one cup?"
There you go. Not dinner. Not a movie. Not a weekend in Vegas. Just twenty minutes with a cup of Joe. And if your meetup with her lasts longer than that, then you're probably on to something. It's just not that hard.
