OUTSTANDING creativity! That's more in the realm of the self employed
than the side line shop, but the concept is great! No boss with an ounce
of brains is going to let the employees find out they all lost out on
free pizza because he wouldn't meet some someone just trying to get some
work.

You never know when a favor or good deed will return!

I worked for a local sheetmetal/fab shop for 9 years. From employee #3
to it's then new 45,000sqf building. Been gone from there close to ten
years now, but many people in local business still remember me (helps
that I can easily pass for the owner's brother...<G>) and that itself
has opened doors.
