Do you avoid him?
Do you take a flyer from him?
Do you gesture to him that you do not want it?
Do you ignore him and just walk pass?
Even if you take a flyer, do you do it out of pity to help the man clear his stock? Do you even give it a glance or just discard it at the next rubbish bin you see?
Many times those flyer distributors are teenagers or adults.
The other day, a kid about 7 years old was distributing flyer at a busy road in the central business district.
Instead of avoiding him, all the passerby actually stopped or slowed down for him to give flyers to them. A few of them even approached him to get the flyer from him.
And those who took the flyer actually read what's on it.
Did they take the flyer from the kid out of sympathy or curiosity? Or is it because it's out of the ordinary to see a kid doing it?
