Here’s what I saw:
The first minute he says this is for his grown son and I have to wonder how his son feels about this public admission about his uneasiness around Girl Scouts. For the rest of the video, his son is never mentioned again. So, just who was this video really about and why was his son even mentioned?

Secondly, a stranger walks up and starts videoing little girls and being overly friendly. I don’t recall him asking the Scout leader if it was okay for him to video any of this and she should have asked some questions before it went any further. Think about that for a second.

I won’t argue that his intentions were good, but the whole thing was creepy from the start. I’m not saying to be paranoid, but there were some potential red flags raised there and they were clearly missed.

He should have brought 1 or 2 boxes of the kind he likes and told them to keep the change.

went to the super market yesterday, it's getting so bad now the girl scouts aren't even there, they're having their moms sell for them, and the lady didn't even try to "sell," as people would walk by she'd just keep repeating "we take cash or credit," and gs cookies suck anymore

pointing out with the others that a video begging for attention cheapens the act

Girl scout cookies are a rip off racket. Prices are going higher while the amount of cookies shrink. Aldi sells the same cookies for $2.50

When my daughter was that age, I was the district leader to distribute and track all the GSC sales. This was back when little girls could go door-to-door by themselves safely to sell. Still, most of the sales were parents taking them to work or relatives, the demand was pretty good.

One of the girl's parents were about to go on extended vacation, so they just donated about $100, in 1983 money I guess that was more than $500 today.

The troops benefitted greatly from the funds, a lot of little girls got to go to Camp Whispering Pines who might not have been able to afford it. I don't know what they do with the profits today.

I have a daughter who is a Brownie. We've already pre-sold 150 cookies.

She is in both GS and Cub Scouts.

$500 worth of girl scout cookies


So he only bought about 50 dollars of actual cookies, and donated 450 dollar to the Girl’s Scouts. Good for him.

Last time I got a box of Girl Scout cookies there were only 15 cookies in the package and the fatty in me ate them all like the Cookie Monster.

Who tf knew people bargain shop for girl scout cookies?

Also, aren't you actually supposed to buy them to support the cause? Isn't that the idea behind it?
