I don't believe in compliment openers.
I do . . .
As long as it is truly is a compliment OR a totally funny joke and NOT some stupid cliche.
JOKE compliments: (sorry just made em' up)
"Woh, every time you pour that coffee, I can see your biceps just rip out of your upper arm. . . .I've been working out. You think they'll hire me?'
"Wow, that guy is totally staring at you! . . .Oh no . . wait a sec. . he's staring at the sponge cake. What a dork, I totally think you're much hotter than a sponge cake."
TRULY a compliment:
"Cool . . . the way you handled that belligerent customer had CEO written all over it. Wow . . . I think I'm in love . . . " (seems like a joke but man, this one girl really made me feel this way)
The point of openers is to get a conversation going. A decent "compliment" really doesn't hurt . . .
