I agree, I am polite and say “No thanks.” But I feel like saying, “Eating your cookies is like eating dead baby parts.”
Theyre just cookies. Seek help.
Besides, it's the Girl Scout Organization that I have objections too. Same goes for the Boy Scout Organization too.
I also encounter “BSA” kids in front of stores simply collecting cash.
I tell both completely compromised organizations, “I give to other causes.”
And I do.
I was way-layed coming out of the supermarket.
I said, “How many boxes will $10 buy?” They had no answer. Very enthusiastic, very happy and excited — but clueless.
“Three boxes is $12!” One said.
“Very nice,” sez I, “but that’s not what I’m offering.”
“We can sell you TWO boxes for your ten dollars!” another said.
“Also very nice, but that would be eight dollars if it’s four bux a box, right?” She frowned and looked puzzled.
There seemed to be a two dollar gap.
“Look,”sez I, “you’re selling cookies, right?”
Well... No! As it turns out the cookies are a “gift” for my DONATION.
They were also unprepared to make change, so my two boxes would have been ten dollars.
I was nice, but I didn’t buy any cookies.
