Do you like to accept leaflets on the roadsides or at the gates of supermarket?

Whether by bus or go to mall, I always meet some people who send many leaflets, I usually don't accept it unless interested.

I got a job once that required me to hand out these leaflets. It's really disappointing when people ignore you and don't take what you give them. So as a courtesy, I just take whatever it is when I come across someone giving out leaflets. If I'm not interested at it, I just throw it away when I'm out of their sight.

I agree with you. I also had a job that required leafleting for promos, and it's annoying when they don't take it. Some even laugh at it for a reason I didn't know.

Hi, nocturn98, thanks for your response. I also had such a experience when i was a student in university, the company required us hand out leaflets about tickets bonus. i went to the gate of one primary school, less than ten mins, children handed out all of them.:)

No, I try my best not to take them. I usually don't respond to whatever is offered in the leaflets so I would rather not take it as it is pointless. It puts you in an awkward position if you are in a hurry and have to look for bins to throw them. If the person has a creative way of offering it, I would definitely look at it.

Hi, nikky28, thanks for your response. If my GF and me walk together in the street, i don't accept leaflets, but she accept them. my thought is the same to you, but she think those people are not easy.

I do not accept them as well. I usually just throw it away so why get them. I would rather have someone get it and may have a chance in buying whatever it is they are selling than be courteous and not do anything with it. I want the material to get into the hands of really potential people who would buy it.

I get them, interesting or not. I think it's rude for me to not take them when they're being handed to me. We use the papers at home anyway so we don't just throw them away.
