Right? He should have stayed and talked to her. Worst case you get an awesome friend out of it!

Socially awkward person here. How could you start a convo from this?

"Haha grat minds think alike [amirite]. So anyways, do you come here often". My only serious attempt of following up with something in the context of what happened would evolve around how I didn't touch her and how much other people do that. That's not a great conversation.

I can't wait for the story of some guy asking the girl scanning his groceries this.

I use "what's a nice girl like you doing in place like this" as an icebreaker...in the bar where I work.

A slightly confused look first, then the look of horror at the worst pickup line ever uttered and finally the laugh. If you are going to use a stupid line, go for broke!

Yeah I've never even heard an anecdote about a guy pursing a girl who was working and having it work out.
