Better go with Plan B

A few days ago I was walking back from the gym and stopped to pick up a sandwich. As I exited the local sandwich place near my office I noticed that a guy wearing a blue t-shirt and holding a clipboard was canvassing the people sitting out at the patio tables.

This patio/courtyard area aren't affiliated with the restaurant, it's outdoor seating for the whole building. So plenty of people just bring their lunch out to enjoy the sunshine while somewhat shielded from the street. And I guess, they expect to be shielded from earnest kids with clipboards.

One woman threw out her arm in the classic "Talk to the hand" fu maneuver (I think Shaolin monks have practiced in for years). I didn't hear what she said to him, but I saw she was quite animated. Other people followed suit - the kid started to look a little shaky.

I didn't stick around to watch what happened. But I hope that kid had another plan for getting interest in in his cause - nobody in the courtyard was interested.
