And I don't think she thinks of him as just a customer anymore. Or would you invite a random customer to a hiking trip?

On the basis that she seems to think he is Momo's father, maybe she sees him more as the parent of her kid's friend - although she obviously isn't Sam's mother (although she might have taken on motherly duties when Sam is around). Since they have both taken on the parental responsibility of the 'children' then that would be the motivation for going together.
(In Martin's case, Padma has assumed Martin is the 'parent' rather it being reality.)

I've caught myself doing the neck-grab once or twice. I become very self-conscious thereafter. :-P

I'm thinking Padma needs application of a clue-by-four. Then again, she may be horrible about reading signs of romantic interest.
As an aside: anyone wonder what happened to our cross-neck guy?
EDIT: Double aside - does anyone think there were at least two additional lines of dialogue that were missing from this comic? (Momo in panel one, Padma in panel 3B)

Hmm. Interesting. Padma is being like a big sister (if not motherly?) to Sam. Anyone else get the vibe that Padma has been babysitting her in the past? I mean, it doesn't sound like this would be the first time they are planning to spend a day together.
I really don't want to jump to conclusion about the object of Elliot's longing. Remember that Padma was within earshot, when Scarneck was giving Elliot his advice, and a shy guy like Elliot is unlikely to pour his heart out like that in the presence of his dreamgirl. Then again, they may have learned to count on Padma remaining oblivious, and she was in a different panel anyway, so may be it doesn't count. The possibility of Elliot simply being protective about either Sam (or Padma) also makes sense. Sam may well be like a kid sister to the entire staff of tSB.
As always, there are many possible ways the hiking trip could turn out. Townie drama potential notwithstanding I predict that there is an accident, when Momo gives a demo of her defences, and Elliot has to carry Marten back to the parking lot. Sam and Padma will be the only people who actually enjoy the trip.
