Every day you wait to call her is another day when customers will be hitting on her and trying to get her number. Call back, tell her you had some free time, so you figured it would be a good time to call and say hi. Don't worry about waiting a few days, as long as you don't act desparate, calling back soon won't make you look desparate. Ask her when she's free, and have a few ideas of things you could do at various times during the day and evening. Come up with ideas that give you time to talk and time to do stuff together.
Another piece of advice: based on what I see of you on TFP, you tend to be happier and more confident when you stop drinking for a while. If you do start something with her, don't take advantage of the fact that she works at a liquor store; it may be a good idea to not drink at all until you get to know each other better, espicially considering that you're concerned that you'll "only get drunk and act like a fool" if you go somewhere with alcohol. Bars aren't good for the first few dates anyway, since they're noisy, smokey (not sure it England has a smoking ban yet,) and have too many people close together for you to concentrate on each other.
Whatever happens, good luck.
