The other day I was istalling equipment at a walmart that was being remodeled.There was a girl that worked at walmart that was assigned to make sure merchandise wasnt being brought over to the side of the store that was being worked on .As I walked by ,seeing that her job was probably very boring, I jokingly commented on her job. She laughed.But now every time I walk by I feel compelled to say something funny but I have nothing to say.It gets kind of awkward.I can tell she feels compelled to be polite and say something too.This happens to me alot.

Yeah... that happens to me sometimes too. I have to laugh, you just want to interact and maybe get in a laugh or two, even if, on the usually, your not too much of a comedial person. You want to start and stimulate a friendly conversation, but then the akwardness appears. Whatever it is, you are basing this experience via your first approach that's linked to that initial nice response (you remember her 'politely' laughing at your seemingly "funny joke" about her job). This becomes a trend whether the joke is funny or not; you're aware that its not funny but you do it anyway, for that comfortable response [ you have something to defend :) ]. You want to say something else, but instead nothing or 'other' comes out, sometimes this happens because your think too much into what you 'should say' and what 'comes out,' just to get, that 'remembered' polite response (even though she could respond differently) and that's where the akwardness comes into play. Nonetheless this stimulates some form of conversion btw you and her. Its comfort my friend, whether you like her... or your trying to be friendly, its comfort. Take a quick breather and be you, stimulate conversation-friendly environment with this in mind. Its common, we get awkward at times, whether it moments, conversations, life :) you name it. :)

Unless you have something extremely funny to say to her, I wouldn't keep going on with the jokes.
You didn't mention whether you're crushin' on her or not.
If you aren't interested in her, just a simple nod or hello will suffice.
If you like her....a sincere smile with eye contact should start to warm things up a little.
