That's true. If you are going to "cast" Main Street USA for authenticity then you should probably cast middle aged men as most of the shop keepers, young men for the lower paid rolls (ice cream scoopers, etc.) and so on. Very few women worked in small town USA. The only "role" I would see attractiveness and authenticity joining would be the saloon girls.
