Lol
That’s true of a lot of situations isn’t it
Yeah, let’s just give credence to the idea that conservatives are jerks.
I go out of my way to do business with kids operating a lemonade stand in the summertime, but I’ve always hated buying Girl Scout cookies. Maybe it has something to do with the formality of it, and the fact that every Girl Scout mother I knew was a leftist.
+1
I sometimes say, “No, thanks...I don’t support the HQs policies.”...with a pained, but kind expression.
I figure they’ll likely ignore my comment, at most...or, ask their moms what that means, at least.
Most times, I simply say, “No, thanks.”
So you want to create a nationwide campaign to confuse and make little girls cry because they sell cookies ?
Did it feel cool to confuse & be sarcastic to little girls? Just curious because your description of your monologue was uber creepy.
I just smile at them and say “No thanks.” Most of the girls are way too young to understand anything about the issues, so there’s no point ruining their day. The problem is with the GS leadership, not the girls.
Feeling a compulsion to lecture little girls is creepy.
How about practicing self control and not lecturing anyone?
That's something you should be telling to the adults who run an organization like the Girl Scouts, not the kids selling cookies at your door or in the shopping mall.
If you want a way to gracefully decline making a purchase to a young kid, tell her that you have already bought dozens of boxes from your own daughter/niece/granddaughter and be on your way.
Yes. Just don’t buy the cookies.
I just tell them that I am opposed to Planned Parenthood and cannot support their effort and wish them the best of luck. For the same reason,I stopped supporting Race for the Cure (against breast cancer - which is also much more common among maternal abortion victims). I don’t tell the GS that though.
biggest dick move I’ve heard in months. some little girl’s daddy is going to come visit you, and good luck when he gets there.
How about, “I give to my church.”?
“Children really don’t sell them anymore. The parents do it all”
That is ridiculous. The girls are staffing their booths everywhere and going door-to-door.
Sure you see the sign-up sheets at work, but I see the girls working hard at selling them. Selling to strangers gives the young girls new confidence and new abilities.
I make a donation to the troop and tell the moms why I cannot buy the cookies for the associations you cited. Donations to the troop do not go to the national organization. Since the troop only gets $.50 per box sold, a small donation ($5-$20) is like selling a lot of cookie boxes. I have heard from the mothers that the donation method is happening more and more often. There is no point or need to intimidate the young girls.
You can always baffle the sh!t out of them by telling the Girl Scouts that you already bought cookies from girls who joined the Boy Scouts. LOL.
How about, “No thanks. Not interested.”
All this stuff was ubiquitous in my 1960s youth
Brownies and Girl Scouts
Cub scouts and Boy Scouts
I was an RA ....a Baptist thing...maybe other denominations too...we camped and stuff
There were other groups too....Campfire girls
Boys Club and YMCA had stuff too
Boy those ships have sailed...all corrupted and spoiled ....putrid
Don’t even know if they have RAs anymore
