Subject: RE: Girl Scout cookie timePirateGirl - 2009-01-10 7:53 PM My husband called to say a friend's daughter was at our house selling and asked on the phone what I wanted, so we placed our order through her. I do not buy from parents who are lame and post the order forms at work outside their offices. I only buy directly from the kids that are actually working for that patch. We were only going to get 4 boxes, but then she said if we got 5 then it's $20. So she even had the sales pitch down.  Right on sister! Pet peave of mine is the parents who put the form on the table for people to sign up. If your kids going to be in something, they should do the work to raise the money. My son asked me to do this. I refused. I was more than happy for him to come to work and talk to people individually - teaches him ownership and communication skills. Rant over - now where's my cookies??! |
