well, maybe not directly. But I was a manager for a US Navy store on base,lots of navy and marine men,and asked them if they found what they were looking for (jock straps, underwear, and other unmentionables). Most men just smile, some blush, but the generally never thought more of it. It was part of my job. In the same light, I have asked women who returned slips, bras, clothing the same question - it was part of my job. In either instance, I was not hitting on the male or female.
