The other day I ate at an ethnic restaurant. There were a lot of waiters running around. I left a generous tip and two slim jims and two RP business cards. Maybe if there were fewer waiters I would have left just one piece of literature.
But I was thinking that ethnic restaurants are often family owned and run by entrepreneurs. They hire extended family and friends. They come from tight-knit communities where there is a strong line of communication and word of mouth spreads quickly.
I don't eat out that often, but maybe in the next three months I will visit some of these restaurants and I'll bring along some slim jims:
Persian
Thai
Vietnamese
Chinese
Indonesian
Indian
Greek
Also, the other day I bought a soda at a liquor store and after I paid the man I took out a tri-fold and slapped it on the counter and said that this guy RP was running for president and he's pro-small business. I figured if I was going to buy a drink anyway, I might as well give out something to try and help the business.
P.S. Sorry if this thread is in the wrong forum topic. I don't know where to post anymore. If a moderator would like to move it, that's fine with me. :)
