The only time I sold them at work was to a VP who was giving them away to the staff as an unexpected gift.Ī convenient reminder that healthcare in the US sucks, but by how much depends on which state you live in ( cnn.com ) » (9 comments) Im a manager and dont want anyone to feel like they have to but them. Doesn't stop anyone from surreptitiously doing it, though. My work has a policy that no one is allowed to sell stuff to other employees. As I got older, I appreciated that he didn't sell them for me. I was stuck to our neighborhood which was saturated with Girl Scouts, where everyone spread their purchase across twenty scouts. It ticked me off the time, because all the other girls' parents sold them at work and would turn in orders for a few hundred cookies, where I'd sell around 25 boxes. He was a manager and didn't want to put people who reported to him in the uncomfortable position of having to buy cookies. My dad refused to sell my cookies at work. Kp1230: abhorrent1: So they're upset that parents sell the cookies at work? A lot of people would probably never buy them if that didn't happen. BSA Assistant Scoutmaster for 4 years so I do understand the fund raising - to a point. ![]() I'd rather hand the organization my child was involved in the $20 and not be expected to harass everyone I know. PTA was not happy when I handed the wrapping paper sales sheet back to them and told them 'sorry, not allowed.' It was a relief really. When I worked at AT&T the building manager put the kabash on selling product in the building including GS cookies and BSA light bulbs. They weren't going around actively pushing them or pressuring anyone to buy them. The people that did it at my work just kept a sheet on their desk and if you wanted some, you'd go fill in your info. So yeah, she would have done better selling during working hours, assuming her supervisor doesn't write her up over it. I rarely have cash on Saturdays because I always go to the bank on Mondays. She gave me a dirty look and went on to a different booth. I apologized and said "I'm public sector", she responded with "Yeah, I know, I work over at City Hall" (because I cannot recognize coworkers outside of work hours unless they are wearing nametags or uniforms), I then gave a "ah, so you understand". I ran into someone selling her daughter's girl scout cookies at an outreach expo on a Saturday (I had a booth, she was just walking around). Then donate all your cash profits to your local Girl Scout council.Rebelyell2006: abhorrent1: So they're upset that parents sell the cookies at work? A lot of people would probably never buy them if that didn't happen. Buy these cookies at Aldi for $1.49/box (or $1.69/box for the Samoa-like cookies) and sell them to neighbors and co-workers for $5.00/box. This has resulted in an ever increasing gap between the increasing cost of a box of cookies, and both the quality and quantity of the cookies inside the box. Unfortunately, over the years, Girl Scout cookies have faced considerable inflationary pressure under costs of ingredients, production, and distribution. The Aldi version are the Girl Scout Thin Mints of yore: tender, melt-in-your mouth cookies. They tasted waxy and, quite frankly, gross. The most recent genuine Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies I tasted were disappointing. Quick bottom line? If you like Girl Scount Thin Mints, go to Aldi and buy CASES of these because they are BETTER than real Girl Scout Thin Mints. The Thin Mint-like cookies are another story. But at $1.69/box this is a trifling technicality for arguably the best cookie (or candy?) ever conceived. Real Samoas have a darker chocolate drizzle whereas the Aldi cookie seems to use a milk-chocolate. Quick bottom line? If you love real Samoas, at $1.69/box, these are a no-brainer. I love comparing tastes of products!įirst the Samoas-like cookie rundown: Very close but not quite the same. I picked up both varieties of these cookies at Aldi, the Benton's Fudge Mint Cookies resembling Girl Scout Thin Mints, and Benton's Caramel Coconut Fudge Cookies resembling Girst Scout "Samoas" cookies to taste-test them. ![]()
