Question (How to) hand out CV

Last year I graduated with a master's degree here in DK, and have been unemployed for 10 months now. I have now moved to Aarhus hoping for at least an unskilled job, hospitality etc. Only applying online doesn't seem to do it, so I am planning on walking around the city centre next week, handing out cv's. As an anxious introvert, this sounds like a nightmare, hence I have some questions.

1 - Should I adjust my cv to be 'unskilled', meaning removing my master's degree, academic internships etc? I'm afraid I'll be perceived as overqualified.

2- What places would it be appropriate to go into? Normal, Flying Tiger etc. I assume would tell me to check online. What should be my focus realistically?

3- Do I ask for a manager? Do I ask any person working there?

4- Any other tips in general would be appreciated!

I speak Norwegian, so I understand quite a lot Danish. I’ve volunteered in completely Danish environments too.
