While people on reddit or Lemmy might talk about hitting on someone at work as the worst thing ever this isn't the case for a lot of people.

Lemmy has a very distinct demographic that's not really representative of the outside world.

I've dated a coworker. For various reasons, I wouldn't recommend it.

Not talking about coworkers, but more about people you encounter while they are working.

I've had a couple of pleasant experiences. Same for girls in the gym tbh.

Nah, at their work they can't reject you properly if they're giving a service and their work is listening to you. That's abusing your position as client.

That's why you do it when you're leaving or not a customer.

When you're leaving she's still working and you're still using your former position.

After she's ended her shift it's still debatable. For me it's still creepy.

Cool, for me and a lot of girls it's not. So I guess it's not as simple.

If you're in the US, you live in a country where it's OK to insist on trying to talk to uninterested strangers if you're bored, even if they're clearly uninterested. So yeah, I get why you wouldn't get it.
