If they cost $1 per box to make the GS just wasted $13000! Their profits must be so huge that 13grand is chump change. They should stop claiming to be a “service organization” dedicated to scouting and character building and just admit the GS`s are a cookie company with free child salespeople. At least Nabisco isn`t pretending to be a service organization while avoiding child labor laws.
“A tasty treat isn’t all that’s involved with a box of our caramel and toasted coconut-covered cookies. Through interaction with each customer and other Girl Scouts, a girl learns the importance of keeping her word, doing the right thing, and being fair. A girl learns the business ethics that will serve her throughout life.”
