I was in Subway (sandwich shop) the other day; I'm thankful for this Subway because it is within walking distance of work and a blessed redemption from our company canteen...but I digress...
There was a very sweet and timid young lady passing out forms in the back of the restaurant - every time a patron would pass by, she would offer up the form and each time she would smile and before she could even explain her action, she would be met with brusque rejection. Each time a glimmer of frustration would pass over her expression and she would just plop back down in her chair; but she recovered resiliently with each occurrence of failure to get the customer to take the form.
Now, being the observer I am, I watched this for awhile. I also surveyed the premises for some sort of explanation of this situation.
BINGO.
After chatting briefly with her about her intended mission, I accepted one of her survey forms.
I then pointed out to her the very LARGE "Help Wanted Immediately" sign posted on neon yellow posterboard in the front window.
;o)

Good post! Women should help other women. It is almost instink to help our fellow man so why not single out the fellow woman :-) I want to give you a great big hug but an on line pat on the back will have to do. She should be handing them out at the front of the store before and after they leave. When they enter they might think it is something to do with the application but those there just to have lunch will hold it until they get their car keys out and either stuff in their purse (taking it out later in front of friends)or hand it to the person in the passenger seat who accompanied them to the lunch. It will get passed around and hopefully looked at.
At least she could still smile through it all!
