I'm a sales rep ( with the company often associated with a bright orange theme - lol), and had an interesting interaction with a customer today.

The customer was a young lady, around my age (20) - and she was really attractive. A solid 11 out of 10.

Anyhow, she came to my store, talked to me for a bit, asked the usual questions a customer asks when they're thinking about getting an upgrade etc... anyhow, it turns out she can't upgrade for another 5 weeks.

I was wrapping up with her, and I gave her a business card - told her to come by the store in a few weeks - did my usual pitch to hope to get someone back etc. Anyway, as she's about to leave, she asks if my cell phone number is on my card. I said, "The store number is on th...

I don't think you can actually get in trouble for this, but it could turn ugly. But then you also have to think: she's hot as hell. What are the chances of you gettin some? If they're good, I say go for it! 😈 And you never know, she may be a great person and you guys fall in love and all that sh**.

You can't get in trouble if she tells the truth, but there's always the chance she'll say you just "gave" her your number and then you hit on her.

Take it slow until you're sure she's not crazy. I definitely wouldn't hang out with her alone until then. You need witnesses.

So if you go by this standard, no female with a Ringular (name changed to protect the innocent)phone is eligible for you to see?

If you worked in a grocery store, anyone that walked in and bought something would be off limits?

If you were a priest and there was this altar boy...oh wait, wrong...

As long as you are aware of whats at stake, what's the problem, especially if she's
dee-licious!

Just be smart, as you should with any other girl. Keep you head in the game and everything will be fine!

On the flip side.
My co-worker (female) met a guy at work.. Hung out for several weeks dating. One night when he was supposed to be spending the night, he stole her and her roommates purses. Now she's having to go to court.
Sometimes you never really know someone.

First and foremost, u can meet crazy people anywhere. They are going to be crazy whether u date them or not. There is no difference between meeting someone at work, at the gas station, thru friends, online, etc. U only know what people want u to know about them regardless of how long u've known them. One person said it right, use the art of discernment, take ur time, and use good judgement before being alone with ANY person u meet ANYwhere

first of all, someone wants to brag a little. secondly, i think this job is the best way to really see a person's true colors...if she was cool when you told her she has 5 weeks left, and didn't pitch a fit, then maybe she's a keeper. and again post pics 😁

2. Have had several co-workers HOOK UP WITH hot chick customers WHILE ON THE JOB. By Hook up with...I mean...went in the back room or office and did the deed. I'm not crazy enough to do that myself, but to each his or her own.

I called her back last night, and played the card I usually play. I told her I was busy (I wasn't.), but I'd hang out with her tonight.

I also made sure that it wasn't going to be just her and me, because that would have been a bit odd for a first time chillin' out with someone.

The good news is that she didn't seem to mind. In fact, I think this card works out for the better. That way she knows that I'm slightly "unavailible", which in my practice seems to have worked well for me in the past.

Thanks for the feedback folks.

but we work selling cell phones. It's not like we're high powered hotshots commanding all the respect. If a hot girl wants to start something then you go with it. I mean you got to ask yourself, "If she's that hot, how ugly can it turn out?"

And if you can't get her the free phone, you just send her over here and I'll see what I can do!

i had a customer, cute short women (roughly 7 years older than me 😕 ) we talked, wanted to transfer picture without upgrading. Didn't get the sale, but from the moment i saw her i was in-love, and thus, i didn't think i'd see her again, she came again and i found out she worked at the mall. i would pass by and exchange words, a little flirting, made me fell more and more for her. she then finally asked me to go with her on her birthday. 8 months later i couldn't be happier, and planning on moving in togerther, and considering to propose to her later on.

Love can come anywhere, so if you got the opportunity then go for it. You never know where it can get you.

P.S.
2 weeks after we met she upgraded with my co-worker, dirty whore :evil...
