TIFU by thinking I was hitting it off with a girl, but really she thought I was her interviewer

This happened about thirty minutes ago. As I was getting off my shift at the cafe, I spotted a cutie sitting at a table alone. I don’t usually do this, but my own coffee fix had just hit and I was feeling confident, so I walked up to her and took the seat across from her and sparked up a conversation. I did the whole “what’s your poison” gag and got her a latte macchiato with extra cream, for free. In my mind, I was being an extremely charming pick-up, hooking her up with brew and no charge.

I started asking her questions about herself, and she was answering them so readily and fully. She kept referring to her “skills” and “customer service experience,” and instead of being tipped off that something else was going on, I thought what are the odds, another workaholic, just like me.

About an hour in, she asked me, politely, how much longer this was going to take since she had a shower to get to. I asked her what she meant: how much longer what was going to take?

“The interview,” she said innocently. That’s when it hit me. She thought I was interviewing her for the open barista position (the last guy lost a finger, but that’s another post for a different subreddit). I immediately felt my cheeks burn up and stood up.

All I could muster was “we will be in touch.” And then I ran out the front door.

I am really embarrassed. I’ve never had a girlfriend and thought I was finally having some luck. I just hope she doesn’t figure out what just happened and reschedule for a real interview, because if I have to work with her I don’t know what I’ll do.

TL;DR I may need to find a new job
