How to ask someone out...

... who works in a takeaway.

I have been lurking for a while, now I have my own issues and questions, so I thought I would kick off with a positive one :)

There's a guy I keep seeing when I walk past a local takeaway en route to do my shopping or just to pick up some forgotten bits and pieces a couple of times a week. He always seems to be in there, especially at the weekends, it's a takeaway pizza place and is usually super busy as it's good value for money and great food.

I'm not a big takeway food eater myself, like, once in a blue moon usually, maybe not even every 6 months! But I went in there recently as a friend wanted something and he served us, and I noticed how attractive he was, dark and handsome... albeit on the short side...but those EYES :D I first noticed him ages ago, maybe even two years, and though, mmm, cute.... but I was in a long-distance relationship... one that was never actually going to work out, and I am a couple of weeks out of it now. I have to add that this relationship was so and off due to him being a covert abuser that in my head it was over a long time ago, and I am not particularly grieving the end, and feeling generally positive about my decision.

I am ready for a fresh start. A fling.. maybe... He has caught my eye and sometimes he will stare out of the window when I go past. I planned to buy a blank card, one with some random nice photo on the front, writing my number in it and saying something like, Hey, Would you like to meet for coffee /beer some time? I think you're cute.... and just hand it to him (in an envelope of course), after buying some chips.

What you reckon? She who dares, wins? Nothing ventured, nothing gained? Or too cheesy? Pardon the pizza association LOL

The card thing imo is a bit creepy.
Sounds like you've never actually spoke so I think you need to start with at least basic chit chat not just dive in and ask him out as he could be married/in a relationship best to know these things first.
