Kill Joy! They were taken by people who now open carry and are the model open carriers. 8)

Think positive. :)

Yes think positive!

I am positive that an employee threw them in the trash.

Pay attention to the quotes.  They were referring to the post by CG2880 who said he did the same thing and when he came back they were all gone.

Hey if someone picks up the last one and joins, well, it was worth it. In sales every no is one closer to a yes.

in sales its a numbers game, you will get 300 no's per 1 yes. so your goal is to see 1200 people for a handful of sales. same applies here

I understand what you're saying and I'm not saying we should be doing something different. However, the pedantic nerd in me must insist that, while it might work out that way, the notion is based on a logical fallacy. That is all, carry on.

Same holds true for women!  :) Not trying = not getting...

That's an expensive technique if MOC is paying for the trifolds. I've always handed a trifold to people who would stop and ask about OC when I'm out and about. I hate to see our materials and hard earned donations thrown away. Thank you for you effort I'm spreading the word though!

I've owned retail businesses. If someone left flyers on my counters, they went right into the trash. Display space is not free.

I also thought the same thing as scot623, about the wastefulness of MOC rsources. Then It dawned on me that no one would be so narrow minded. And, that the OP obviously was printing them at his own expense.

yes i printed them on my own paper, using my own ink. was trying to do my part at my expense to spread the word about MOC.

MOC did not foot the expenses on any of the trifolds i have handed out or left at high traffic places such as fast foot places. i figured alot of employees dont come out from behind the counter often and maybe some people might get a chance to grab one or 2 up before they were trashed. i knew going in it may be a waste of paper and ink but i was willing to accept that to spread the word.
