Is leafleting an ok job?

My early 20s daughter is just starting out as a s/e ceramicist after her degree but needs work to pay her way in life (lives with bf and his mum). She has a p/t job in a Hungry Horse pub but doesn't get many shifts (management seem a bit rubbish) and hates it. She's just moved into her little studio space and is going for an interview in a few days for a job delivering leaflets. Apparently it pays more than minimum wage but I have reservations about it. She's got a brilliant work ethic and attitude but she's not that tall and very slight - plus autistic. I'm worried bad things may happen. Genuine thoughts/advice anyone? I've told her my concerns and she says if it feels wrong she won't do it.

Delivering leaflets...is this handing them out on corners or putting them in mail boxes/under doors?

@SomeMichGuy the latter.
@Cheesecake It might work, as long as people don't come to the door to tell you to stop.

The corner thing is too hard.

@SomeMichGuy that's something I hadn't thought of to worry about! Sorry - corner thing? What you mean?
@Cheesecake Sometimes, handbills are handed out to ppl directly (on a corner, or on the sidewalk in front of a place). It's VERY hard to get these distributed, because you have to convince 'n' ppl to take the thing...

Dropping it into a mailbox or sliding it under a door is more indirect.

@SomeMichGuy ah, gotcha, thanks. No, it's into people's doors 👍
@Cheesecake Good! 😊😊😊
