    It’s more like “I’d like to initiate a conversation with with you” and not really about the literal meaning.

      plus them asking gives a chance to say you’re on break or something vs them directly asking and then awkwardly needing to say “yes I could help you but I don’t want to right now ask someone else”

    I get the total opposite. I’m a security contractor. People will look at me 30 feet up on a scissor lift pulling cable and ask where to find the diapers. They see ladders and tools = must be store employee.

    I own a KFC sweat shirt but I’ve never worked there. I’m gonna start collecting company shirts and waiting for people to ask me for help

    that’s passive aggressive for “are you going to do any work here or just fuck around?”
