never ran into her again, in fact, i don't think i would recognise her if i see her again now.
Poor girl had to get the bus from then and had her journey time trebled!

Haven't read the whole thread, but this is what I would do: Have a pen handy. Get chatting as before, just small talk, make a joke etc. Then when she hands over your change and receipt quickly write your name / number on the back and hand it back to her, saying "call me if you'd like to go out". Say goodbye and walk away, don't stay any longer and don't look back.
Why i said flower. One flower isn't creepy, it's cute, most girls think it's sweet, considering the fact you handed it to her infront of other people, she'll blush and most likely will contact you.
Asking her for a drink is a typical guy approach, it's boring and blunt, you want to be able to use that first moment to get her attention.
Wow, that would be very stalker like.
