The rule of thumb is: never ever assume that someone in a service industry is into you. They get paid to be pleasant.

You sound jealous. I am sure he will get around to you eventually.
Well, I'm a guy, but I'll keep an eye out for a timid weaksauce beta male who keeps making lame conversational gambits but never musters the courage to ask me out.

Any guy who calls other men betas.....is a beta.
This. It's one of those words that as soon as I hear I know that guy who said it is a loser. They are typically guys who think that acting like an inconsiderate asshole makes them tough. They don't realize that people just can't be bothered to call them on their sh!t and mistake annoyed tolerance by the adults in the room for being "beta." One thing that I learned from years of MMA training and working out with a lot of cops, prison guards and bouncers --- really tough guys tend to be the nicest, most soft spoken and polite guys you'll ever meet, and with professionals it's not a question of being "alpha" -- it's just training and they don't get emotional about it.
None of those guys is a timid, vacillating, indecisive weakling like the OP. What term would you use for a man who is a timid, vacillating, indecisive weakling? "Beta" at least has the virtue of economy.

If she smiles and chats with you, her likelihood of a tip increases. Don’t read more into it.

You're 30 years older than her. She's not interested.
+This was how I felt when I worked at coffee shops.

Get a job at Starbucks and you will find that being nice to frequent customers is in the HR manual.
