Help me learn origami. Want to impress my crush at Whole Foods

I've been shopping a lot at Whole Foods lately, and have recently kindled a bit of a friendship with one of the cashiers. She's hilarious, good natured and very charming. I would love to ask her on a date someday but I am shy, and a bit too sheepish to do so whenever I go through her register. Also its probably not proper to do so when she is working.

Thus I've devised a plan that I think may be appropriate to the situation. I want to make her a small origami gift. Maybe a type of flower or bird. Just something that when I go through the cashier line, I can simply say "Hey I made this for you," and then I can leave my number hidden under a wing or petal - allowing her to reach out if she is interested. If she doesn't then no harm no foul. I think its a cute way to express my feelings without bothering her hopefully.

Problem right now is I don't know how to make origami, so I need to practice, and also want to make something that looks great and shows effort. Ideas?? Vids? Thanks!!

Don't ask a customer service person on a date at their workplace. Thanks.

As someone who likes origami let me say this: no girl has been impressed by an origami gift ever.

Though if you want to learn for fun please go ahead. There are a ton of resources online. Also keep in mind you should use special origami paper.

Just go up to her and say or just wait outside until she gets off and see if she wants to go get something to eat.

Any service provider (waiter, bartender, cashier, receptionist, etc) who's nice to you is literally just doing their job and 90% chance isn't actually interested in you at all. It's all in your head.

Don't be that creep who hits on women at their jobs, and don't bring her a weird gift. Why can't you people just be normal?

Shoot your shot OP, but always remember that retail cashiers, especially at Whole Foods, have be affable with customers.

Also, I genuinely have no idea why you landed on this Origami thing.

Fold 1000 cranes (exactly) and string them together. Show up to Whole Foods draped in it (and nothing else), walk up to her, wink, and say, "Make a wish".

How/when are u going to do it? Isnt it going to be awkward asking her out while a bunch of people are waiting in line behind you? You are pretty brave OP.

Also just speaking from experience giving a girl a gift out of nowhere expecting some sort of response has never worked for me.

Fold a nice origami then stick it up your ass, sit down, and think about the thought process that led you to this idea and how to eliminate it from the critical thinking portion of your brain

Don't do it op. Ask her what time she gets off and/or if you can have her phone number. Be normal

DO NOT WAIT FOR HER AFTER WORK. I cannot stress that enough. Just ask her out next time you're there. Gotta take the chance without looking like a total creep.

Dude dont. This is not appropriate in any which way. There is no way to come off not looking like a total creep unless you are 11/10 attractive and, given the origami idea, that isn't plausible. You dont do this to a person while they are at work.

Actually it's easy to understand, shy people prefers to use a different channel/object to start conversations which in this case is origami.

Putting your digits in there is super tacky though...

Rip the price off something then go to their line so when they scan it you can go
"I guess that means it's free!"
"Speaking of free, are you free on Saturday?"

Listen to other people in this thread and do not ask a person out at their workplace. It's creepy. There is a very high probability that she is being nice because she has to at her job.

That being said, if you want to go all out, the solution is to write a crown of sonnets.
