I'm so terminally awkward about all this. Cuz I want to be sure that the person I'm about to ask for help isn't like on break or waiting for their shift to start or something and "Excuse me, are you on the clock?" Sounds super condescending to me. So I just awkwardly default to "Do you work here?" or "Do you know someone who can help me?" because English is basically impossible for my dumbass self.

I feel like this is fair to just ask if they know someone who can help. It gives the person an out in case they are on break or don't work there. I know I've been asked for help in places where I'm just another customer.
