Made with Real Girl Scouts



Yes ladies and gentlemen it's that time again, when little girls are supposed to bug you about buying their sugary goodness. I'm not opposed to this. I did many a door-to-door fundraiser myself.

But now it's different. When fundraising season comes around, whatever it is, I will buy from the first kid that asks me. Only now, I don't get asked by the kids at church. No. I get event requests from their mothers on facebook.

I'm sorry, but I'm not doing this. If the kid wants me to buy, they need to ask me. This sales tactic is seen everyday. My spam folder is full of e-mails trying to get me to buy viagra and porn. I'm not buying those and I'm not buying your stinking cookies from facebook.

Consider this a growth opportunity. If you want something, do the work (there's a novel concept). Consider this a chance to make people skills. Whatever. But go sell your own darn cookies.
