Girl Scouts mounting aggressive campaigns to sell more cookies!

They are now accepting credit cards in some areas and setting up shop in parking lots at mall areas. I'm not sure that they are even relevant as an organization any more and stopped buying their cookies some years ago. How about you?
 

We buy a few boxes every year from our great granddaughter who is a Girl Scout. However, they usually sit in the cupboard for quite some time before we finally work through them...as, IMO, they do not taste very good. One of our neighbors has a cute little beagle who spends most of her days on our porch while they are at work...the little pooch likes a daily GS cooking for her snack.
 
I thought people were crazy about GS cookies - that they couldn't wait for them to come around. I guess maybe they've changed the recipes ...
 

Yes, those little girls are now parking outside out supermarkets and Walmarts here. I just say, do I look like I need more cookies, no thank you. I'm going to make up some flyers about the rising rates of obesity and especially in childhood every time one of them gives me a wrong look I'm going to hand them one. If they're still around in a few months, then I'll say just kidding, I'll have two boxes please. :D And all will be right with the world as I find myself in at home in a diabetic coma. :turnaround:
 
DH buys a case from each granddaughter with the stipulation that we never see them! The girls donate them to local police or fire stations.
Only 2 GD's are selling this year, but we have 3 more to young yet. This could get pricey!

The girl who holds the all-time selling record set up last year in Denver outside a legal-marijuana store. I guess she couldn't keep the cookies coming fast enough. Apparently the Girl Scouts officials weren't overly happy about her selling there, but they said they really don't have a lot of say where the cookies are sold, as long as everything's legal. That girl will be running the country in a few years, I predict.
 
They've got the supermarket entrances staked out, one little girl got a shopping cart and offered it to me. That was nice. I didn't buy any cookies, but have just handed them a $10 bill in the past, just to support the cause.

That's nice of you and I guess I wouldn't mind doing that, but, last time I had seen them they had set up a table here with no less than 3 girls with a fuller brush style sales pitch. If you remember those types of sales approaches.
 
Not too sure what girl guides are all about, what is their cause? ..... I never went, nor to brownies. Didn't they sit around a magic mushroom and tell stories? :playful:

I think that was a stroke of genius.
