Any ideas here?

Problems:

Short interaction time
Other people can overhear (including her supervisor)
Sees what you're buying

I'm not looking to make a project of this because I'm lazy. There's no way in the world I'm going to work it so that I end up in line at the end of her shift or Beta crap like that. I'm looking for the highest (if still low) probability technique to get a number, FB, whatever.

There are several old threads on this subject. Might start there.

Here's my business card. Do you think it will work on a checker? Should I change the color or font?


Seriously, the best idea. Get the cards and have them handy. Low cost, low probability of success but better than walking away wishing you'd done something.

Thanks!

ive got a few numbers from checkout chicks

the key is frequenting the days they work and being more interesting than most people who they talk to

problem is they are really young

that card seems majorly lame

Tough situation.. you really have about 2 minutes and any attempt at 'game' is probably gonna get recognized quickly.

I'd say to work a cashier she needs to be your regular cashier for a few weeks til shes familiar and then maybe get a number. Going for the kill the first time seems like recipe for getting shot down.

However, if you must, bring some charisma and tell (or make up) a STORY that is funny and shows off your alpha traits

I strongly disagree.

Patrick Bateman's business card is legit.

Just put your number there and hand them out. I have to try this. There's definitely situations where it could really come in handy.

Very nice, but Bone and Silian Rail lettering are a bit beta:



Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it.

Reminds me of the business card discussion in AMERICAN PSYCHO.

Love to continue the discussion but I have some videotapes to return.

Correct if I am wrong, but I think you guys thought Hotwheels was joking. He was not.

I honestly think Hotwheels use of business cards are great. Just to make sure everyone knows that using business cards are no laughing manner, but a great tool. I will give them a pro/con breakdown.

Pros:

• Quick and easy to use: you literally just hand it to the girl
• Easy to carry
• If you have a solid job, the card demonstrates value by showing her the powerful position you hold. On top of this, she will know you have cash flow, and you won't even have to say anything about it.
• Extension of your style. If you came up to her as nicely dressed man, having a card that looks sharp with the information put together in a neat manner is further proof that you are a man who has his shit together.
  

Cons:

• You don't get her number.
  

Think about that. If you are a powerful man who has his shit together, handing a girl your business card as a line of contact is almost entirely a positive thing. The only negative thing is that you do not have her number, even then you can say, "Text me your name, and I will set up the date."

One last thing. Hotwheels himself has used the business card maneuver. He was not blowing hot air. I remember him talking about giving a girl who was working at Home Depot (?) his business card and told her to contact him him. She did. Eventually, Hotwheels got her to give him a blow job (I don't know if he sealed the deal). This was from what he said, a cute girl who was less than half his age. If that isn't a testament to how effective a business card can be, then I don't know what is.

The HD girl was before the cards I think, but yes they do work on occasion.

The thing to remember is they are unique and memorable. However, you do not just hand her one out of the blue. Make a bit of a connection or observe some attraction first.

And if I was only joking, I wouldn't have had a box of them made.

The calling cards work much better than a real business card AND they don't allow the broad to creep on who you are.

Something to think about.

No, my name is not Sterling.

Yeah--handing out your real business card is a bad idea, to say the least, if you work at a corporation.

All it takes is one broad you pump and dumped to make a crazed phone call to HR and you're done.

Real business cards may be anti-wetness-inducing anyway--SWPLy American girls see you work in investment banking/corporate law/sales & trading/engineering/consulting/etc. and think: "BORING."

However, I could see real business cards working better on middle class chicks--like cashiers at supermarkets--but still not worth the risk.

Hotwheels has the right idea with custom printed cards.

Just to be clear I like the idea as a low investment idea. My favorite kind.

Just buy Magnums couple times and act kind of embarrassed when checking out.
When she recognize your face next time, then get her number.

BTW I am just throwing this out LOL. I am Asian, I can't do this so someone try it for me.
