Regarding Starbucks baristas:

are they allowed to give out their number on shift? feel weird cause after a barista was definitely flirting with me for 2 months (she used to see me weekly then she has not seen me in a month till last night) so I took a shot and asked for her number.

She replied "sorry i dont give customers my number".

I am annoyed because I never even spoke with her when she first started working there and she is the one who started asking me personal questions and tried to get my attention every time she saw me. Don't want to type all the methods out how she tried to get my attention every time she saw me. But I have seen this exact behaviour from other girls who have told me they liked me. So I am not delusional.

So any tips from you guys as to what happened? When I asked for her number her co-worker heard too. It was quiet otherwise and near closing time.

And again, before you say she never was interested in the first place. 100% she was. Her IOI's were on point.

She is very conservative traditional from Pakistan. So what is her deal?

This is the first time in my whole life a girl has rejected giving me her number after I asked! Confounded.

How do I act when I see her next? Still joke around as before or ignore her completely and give her my order with a blank face?
