Advice on Asking for Someone's Number While Social Distancing

TL;DR: I (24M) want to give a waitress (26F)a note asking for her number. I'm doing this because due to the pandemic she working behind the counter but not actually at the counter. I know it's rather juvenile to do something like this but given the circumstances of the pandemic and the current situation at the restaurant I feel like it's my best bet (Open to suggestions).

So a bit of background. I've been wanting to ask this waitress out for awhile, just as I grew the confidence to do so. The pandemic hit and the restaurant closed down for a month, I thought to myself "That's it. I missed my chance." But miraculously the restaurant re-opened (with a strict schedule) and I went to restaurant twice and found her working on one of the days. However rather than normally waiting tables, she is behind the counter taking in order and passing them to the chef (not really interacting with patrons). However, whenever I visit, she always makes an attempt to tell me hello and asks me how I am doing. One of the other waitresses even told my mother that I should ask her out because "I'll never know if I don't ask." A part of me wants to wait until this blows over but another part of me wants to ask her as soon as I can in the event she quits to find a job that is better to support her during these times or someone else asks her. So I'm wanting to write a note asking for her number. I'm not really sure what else to do. Asking her to stop what she is doing and telling her to come over towards me (especially at a time like this) and flirt for a bit only to then ask for her number, in my eyes not the best nor safest thing. I'm open to suggestions.

The difference between being right and being understood

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.
