Does the bobarista like me?

 There is a boba place close to my work that I go to almost once a week. I think the bobarista likes me, but I can't be sure. I go a lot so it'd be nice if she liked me because that makes the drinks taste better, and I like her a lot because she's always there and she always makes a great drink. She's also super fast at making them, which I respect a lot.

Here is my evidence that she might like me:

1. She smiles when I walk in.

2. I come in a lot (like I said, almost every week) so I'm kind of a "regular". So if I made her like me one time she might still like me now.

3. One time she was really busy and kept saying sorry and that it'd be awhile, but I said "no worries, please take your time, I'm in no rush" and I really meant it. I think she sensed that.

4. I bring in a lot of business. This might not matter too much but my friends have a theory that she's the owner, and if she is, then bringing in business is good. But I take a lot of people to this boba place with me and sometimes in the past if my boss wanted to treat us with something, we'd get boba from there and I'd order it with his card and pick it up for him, so about once a month I looked like an insanely thirsty individual.

5. I always say thank you when I take my drink. I try to be a Good Customer and I like the bobaristas to know I appreciate their professionalism and expertise.

6. I usually will go order at the kiosk. This could actually be a point against me because she's sometimes behind the counter and ready to take my order and instead I go to the kiosk, which could seem rude. But the reason I go to the kiosk is because I think she's the only person that works that shift and I want her to be free to focus on making drinks and not on taking my order.

7. No clue if she can even see it but I do leave a tip on my drink, usually a dollar or less. However, sometimes when I place a mobile order it won't ask if I want to leave a tip, so it looks like I didn't leave a tip in those instances. Double however, I do bring a dollar with me and put it in the jar. Triple however, I only do it once her back is turned because I feel like it's weirdly performative to do it if she's watching, like I'm only doing it for her to say thank you to me. So this one could go either way, idk.

8. My friend asked what kind of straw to get and I said if she got a small straw her drink would last longer (since it's less drink going through the straw, it's science, look it up) and the bobarista overheard and kind of laughed like it was moderately funny.

6.  Look at how much boba she gave me:

Sharpie for scale

Counterpoints to balance it out:

1. She's in a service role and might kind of definitely have to smile and be nice when I come in because that's kind of the job.

2. I've literally never talked to her outside of "hi", "good", and "can I get...?" followed by my order (and thank you, of course). The thing I said about the straw earlier might've been the first thing outside of that really, and I didn't even direct it at her, it was more to my friend.

3. She might've had a little extra boba stuck to the spoon so she just ended up throwing it in my drink because it was easier.

I always thought that it'd be really cool to be a real regular that has a "usual" order, and they ask, "the usual today?" and you get to just be like, "yeah." I think I'd feel very seen. I also have to assume that a drink made with more positive feelings would taste better than a drink made with negative or neutral feelings, that's also just science. Anyways, that's just my first impressions, I haven't put that much thought into it. Let me know what you think.
