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.

Is she going door to door putting them on door knobs?

@NativePortlander1970 yes, but through letterboxes.
@Cheesecake Safer that way, does she have a partner that helps to confirm she's actually putting them in letter boxes and not just trashing them?

@NativePortlander1970 don't know yet but I doubt it. She's going for the interview next week so should get more info then.
@Cheesecake I'm asking because in Las Vegas the best friend of my late ex fiancee's younger son got a job handing out adult escort services cards on the Las Vegas Strip and the Fremont Street Experience downtown, he said a lot of people would just throw them in the trash and still get paid, they never got checked on.

@NativePortlander1970 I'm sure that happens unless therare checks made. My daughter would never do that though. Too principled - and autistic with it. Wouldn't enter her head. Properly dragged up too 😉
@Cheesecake Let's just hope nobody gives her the notion to do it.

@NativePortlander1970 she's very strong-willed 🙂
