Can't you lot get behind the guy chasing the Aldi girl? Go for it I say, nothing to lose. If it all goes Pete Tong there is always Lidl - with a whole load of new check out girls to peruse 
i think the point is that not everyone is in agreement with your view that it is a good idea. Fermit and Sexy Sarah said:

Couldn't agree more but she seems to have disappeared. It'll not be long before he goes full on stalker, staking out Aldi waiting for her to come on shift. The longer he leaves it the worse the situation gets. Maybe she's having a belated holiday with her husband and kids. In this day and age though, it's relatively easy to find these sorts of things out. He's got her name and where she works. Shouldn't be hard to find her using filter searches on all the usual places - Facebook, Insta, Linkedin, Twitter etc and glean her family situation, general wherabouts, interests etc.
Utterly mental IMO. All this build up over a lass who has (supposedly) made eyes with the chap. No one knows if she is even single or interested or whether its simply a smile to a customer. Life's too short - just ask her for her number. None of this preparing envelopes of riddles or highlighter pens on a coin FFS, just aim for the check out when you are next in there and ask the question and you will then have your answer in her face alone.
Massive over-analysis and I dread to think of the considerations at the first date step if this is all built up over some lingering eyes at a supermarket check out.

That really isn't normal behaviour for anyone sane. Some of the previous replies have been brilliant. The 'buy a meal for two' with a line at the checkout like 'That could be for us...' had me stitches.
The last thing I want to do is embarrass her whilst she is at work in front of her fellow staff or customers.
Who knows?
Maybe she's getting these 'hits' three or four times a weeks and I'm just another sucker stuck in the queue. Is it Aldi policy to train these ladies to flirt with a certain customer demographic to keep them coming back?
Anyway, the note is written and kept in the car, it'll go in to my back pocket every time I go into the store.
I'm not scared of being open and forthright, I'm more worried about embarrassing her, putting her in to what could be a difficult situation.
I'm going to proceed with my cunning plan - hope she is there next time I go in for more milk.

It's not a massive over-analysis, it's called careful consideration and opinion gathering.Massive over-analysis and I dread to think of the considerations at the first date step if this is all built up over some lingering eyes at a supermarket check out.

it's entirely possible she's just one of those girls who likes to flirt. Sometimes you end up in some kind of weird little peripheral situation with people you see regularly but don't actually know. Maybe flirt with the girl on reception at work briefly when you arrive. Maybe have a running in joke with the barista at the coffee shop. Maybe nod and smile at someone you see on the train platform each day. Maybe you regularly like the same person's instagram posts in the hope that they'd notice you. In all likelihood, they are happy with the level it is at. Trying to break through the natural wall is a risky play. I am sure it can come off, but you may well find that they are married, in a relationship or whatever and are just happy with a brief peripheral frisson of something in passing, once in a while. Doesn't mean they are feeling the same things as you. Of course, there is literally only one way to find out.
I think this is dividing people for the same sorts of reasons Brexit divided people. The sensible, risk averse, percentages based on one side versus the impulsive, ideology based, not very realistic on the other.
maybe you could sneak a dick pic into the shopping? "maybe this one won't scan, it's definitely on offer"

I think the joke is on us, believing this nonsense. How the fI'm more worried about embarrassing her, putting her in to what could be a difficult situation.
k is asking a girl on a date putting her in a difficult situation or embarrasing her? Do you think she's going to burst into a flood of tears or leave the till and run away into the back room? Is she a fking social retard or something?Nevertheless I'll try and stay positive and picture you doing this while she's idly unloading a crate of Aldi's finest kumkwats:

Before dismissing it's possible, 10 odd years ago I dated a girl for maybe 6 months. Me 31, her 19. She served me in the Co-Op, and ID'd me for my Marlboro's! I had a right laugh about it, she added me on Facebook that evening. The rest you can work out.
she successfully got back at her Ex by displaying a relationship with someone new?olly22n said:
Maybe in 1950, its 2019 ffs. I've often met a girl on a night out or known of someone through friends of friends and internet stalked them. Why would you not use this source of information?
Damn straight. This thread needs to get back on topic rather than discussing real life Aldi pulling (or lack of).Research is of utmost importance in online dating where you only have a couple of pics to go on. The lass could be the size of a small country but will of course only have the most favourable pictures on her dating profile. A quick bit of research should reveal more realistic pictures so you can make more of an informed opinion and save yourself the time and expense in going to meet an absolute rotter.

If you lot can't see when a fleeting mutual attraction occurs you've got something wrong with your radar system & it needs reprogramming. There is nothing weird about it, its a natural thing, you know instantly when it happens. Mine has worked perfectly well for much of my single life & beyond. You know when, you just have to be brave enough to do something about it (& be allowed to!) I've found it still occurred when married at which point it was just a nice thing to be appreciated.
I can remember most of them very clearly, you don't forget.
This years highlights
The french lass at the boat show, on a marina stand I was enquiring at this year, slipped me her personal number & asked in my ear if I was ever nearby to give her a call. This was Aldi girl in reverse but the enquiry was from a sassy French lass so I'll allow her sexy approach.
Bikini girl at the beach, I was windsurfing that day, she caught my eye, we chatted in the sea for a bit. Ended up going paddle boarding for the rest of the day together, watched the sun go down over a drink, exchanged numbers, (at this point my marriage had only just ended) am still in contact today.
And of course amazeballs fittie 10 years younger at the pub last week
that will only be a ONS.

I think it’s fair to give yourself any advantage you can. If that is discovering something that they like or dislike (or weeding out ones you won’t find attractive) then use it. You’d do it in sales and dating is basically selling yourself to someone else, just end goal is often financial ruin not profit.
