I know that is a typo but I am cracking up. I don't know how many times I accidentally hit an I instead of an O when I type "shot" (my company sells something called steel shot so I type this often). One day I realized I had hit an I instead of a U when I typed "ducks." That would have been nice in an email to the Vice President. Luckily I read over what I type.
As to your question, there are a lot of women who don't work because of children etc. I say she has 2 days off and on the days she isn't, she can look for ways to target stay at home moms, other 2nd shift workers...and puts her in a perfect position to do Business pampering. Like I said when I started....if it doesn't work, you haven't lost anything since you have all the product.
