Kid's selling candy on gameday

Is anyone else tired of the kids that walk around tailgates and sell candy? It's actually gotten worse in the past year to the point that it's annoying. Do you really think they're "raising money" for something? or are mom and dad just making a buck off their kids.

They had some last week selling stuff for 20 bucks a pop. I was flabbergasted.

I bought something for a kids travel team once. Then, one of my good friends said they're fundraising to help cut into the travel costs of the families. They use the money to help pay for gas, hotels, beer, etc...
Now, even when it's legit for a school requirement I don't do it.

just don't buy any and they won't be "selling" it, but just walking around with it

Yep.. can't even use the "I've only got a debit card" line on them anymore 
10 year olds pop open their iPhones and attatch their credit card machine to it

It's really annoying. Poor kids are being used by their parents.

I tell them I can't buy any because my dog might get it.

LSU should sell "Vendor Passes"

I ask them if they want a cookie for FREE from my tailgate. They usually accept and then leave. WIN-WIN

I hate this. If they stay in 1 spot that's fine, but walking around to different tailgates shouldn't be allowed.

Go find the nearest ABC/ATC agent and tell them some kids are selling beer, then wait for them to swoop down in full riot gear to haul them off to jail. Problem solved.

Last year there use to always be this young girl selling homemade mini pies at the top of the hill. They were most legit and great at calming the drunkenness before entering the stadium.

Last few games, have had a couple kids selling candy right outside the gates on the west side right after the game.

It's more that everything kids are involved with seem to come with fund raisers attached. Independent sports teams, school sports teams outside of football and maybe basketball, sometimes schools themselves, clubs, etc.
Heck, it's not just kids, even the churches are starting to do these "capital campaigns" looking for money outside of the weekly envelopes for this or that project.

We tailgate in the parking lot where the truck stadium is in there are always kids coming by selling skittles. We give them a hard time that they are really bad salesmen and we make them repeat the sales pitch over and over until they get it right, then we buy something.

Walking from the RV lot toward the stadium I saw a mom walking with 5 children in front of her, all asking every single person if they wanted to buy candy.
The thing that gets me, is not one of them are ever wearing an LSU shirt... c'mon at least try a little bit. Same as the scalpers with a sign that says "I need tickets" and no LSU shirt. I mean really? At least act like you give a shite that there is a game happening.

racist.
if a white kid was selling chocolate bars for school, you'd buy one, or at least be ultra polite...and you know it.
