Set up a shop outside large communing spots for free, yeah you’ll sell cookies. I love these cookies but Girl Scouts give themselves WAY too much credit, are they even learning future business skills from this?

I’ve actually turned around in the parking lot of my favorite coffee stop in the morning, because they have BOTH entrances/exits blanketed with tables & at least 3-4 girls per table. I’m not saying I’m “scared” of little girls with green sashes or anything, but what happened to the days of going door-to-door at least? I’ll give this girl credit for hours put in at least, that’s some dedication.
Oh yeah, my wife makes better cookies anyway!

I think it’s time the cookie selling union stepped in. She’s invading their turf. :S

“but what happened to the days of going door-to-door at least”
Fear of predators and unsupervised street-crossing.

What do they do with all that money, anyways?
Give it to Scientology? -

All those boxes sold and she gets a lousy patch for her sash?
I have to admit, but those cookies are like crack in my house. If you open a sleeve, you have to eat the whole sleeve of them.

Welcome to the USA, United States of Advertising.
Why are you reading this? Get out there and be a good little slave and SELL MORE COOKIES! PAY MORE TAXES TO FUND AN ILLEGAL WAR AND A WAR AGAINST DRUGS WHILE THE REAL DRUG DEALERS (BIG PHARMA) CONTINUE TO LAUGH AND WIGGLE THEIR PIGGY FINGERS (dude lose the caps! har har blow me)
Get in line! Sell your soul! Fund more useless wars while you wash your hands in empty protests while funding the wars you claim to hate.
Buy more cookies, slaves.

You know, if there’s one way to make people listen, I’d have to say CAPS LOCK isn’t it.

I had some girl scout cookies when I was in America recently. Really disappointed. I thought they tasted like naff cheap Netto biscuits.

I’m just glad she isn’t one of those kids who sold a ton by giving the order form to her parents to take to work.
Also, Keebler Grasshoppers: available year round, just as (if not more) delicious as Thin Mints.

I’m just pissed that I missed the Girl Scout’s cookie drive. I always liked their coconut cookie. Oh well, there’s always next time.

Each box was overpriced by the tune of 400%. No one knows where all the money goes because the dens only see about 3% of it.

I pretty sure Girl Scouts put drugs into their cookies… So damn addicting once you eat a few.

I’m a Brownie Leader & this girl really violated cookie selling rules. One girl and one mom is NOT allowed to sell like that. You can come to appointed cookie booths (local council sets them up), and you get 2-3 a YEAR to go to. Extra cookies are signed out by TROOP, not girl & the troop is responsible to pay for them if they don’t sell them.
If she set up a cookie booth by herself or with her mom, that really wasn’t fair to the other girls. Safetywise (our rulebook that we must follow) indicates 2 parents and 2 girls at each cookie booth. All the girls at the sale share the number of cookies for their badge. Also, if she used the internet to sell cookies, she is in violation of the rules too. (I know the article doesn’t say she did.)
There is no way she sold this many with her pre-orders, you sell WAY more when you have the cookies in hand to hungry shoppers. I don’t mean to sound like sour grapes, but my kid could’ve sold a bunch more if I could have signed them out from the cookie cupboard violated Girl Scout rules by selling them at the church parking lot & other stores outside of the assigned cookie booths too.
Our troop went horseback riding with our cookie money & we also donated 80 boxes of cookies to “hometown heroes” police & fire fighters.
