I'm in the same line of work but mine is a bit more conducive to gaming -- a bottle shop. I started off in our parent supermarket though. The quality may not necessarily be higher per se but a much lower customer volume in general really helps make things much more personal between both of you.
If they need your assistance with a product that's your chance -- cue relevant teasing etc.
We're also supposed to card anyone who "looks under 25" so I really go to town with that -- even if they're blatantly of age; sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised.![[Image: smile.gif]](https://rooshvforum.network/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I dunno, but these factors and some tend to make customers more receptive to game. It also helped that a lot of my shifts were at night; at least, I'd get invites to house parties or gigs nearby (I live in a really indie part of town) and build a social circle that way because I bothered to click with customers.
At the end of it, do something like go "here's your receipt" - hand it to her, then dispense another length of receipt paper - "and that's for you to write me number".
Insofar as unprofessional conduct goes, it's really not black and white over here, and my management aren't the white-knighting type. I'm in charge of the store during closing shifts anyway if they try the "I want to speak to your manger" line. As I said, customers almost expect to be gamed so it's a non-issue.
So first off, try to transfer to the liquor department if your store has one.
I've also bartended and can confirm what Christian said. My little sister also works at a bar and she's said that they're practically expected to flirt with customers all the time. We don't really have bar backs here so I can't compare but I'm guessing the above posters were talking up the role because you're not actually focussed on making the drinks.
Either way I'd definitely look into it.
