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.

If you don’t mind littering. Most people consider it trash.

@RedBaron Most people do think the leaflets rubbish but put them in the "recycling" bin, not discard them as litter!

@ArishMell Semantics.

Better yet, save trees by not printing them in the first place.

@RedBaron It isn't semantics, as putting something in the recycling bin (I take it you have those where you live) is not the same as the antisocial dropping of litter, but I agree it is a waste of paper.

@ArishMell They do go in recycling, but that wasn’t the point of my comment.

Litter is litter no matter how it gets discarded.

@RedBaron Ah, so a different meaning. Still a waste of paper, ink and the electricity used in manufacturing and printing it.

@RedBaron hardly littering if it's going in their letterbox. Junk mail maybe ....

@Cheesecake Where I live, leaflets and shopping circulars are thrown on stoops and in front yards. Littering.
