What's the proper response- Co-workers peddling Girl scout cookies?

---

If you that offended by it, go to HR and tell them how it hurts your feelings and how it shows privilege for certain groups to be able to afford to buy cookies, when you and others are struggling to pay the bills, let alone to buy extravagant desserts, like those decadent GSC.

Spent $20 for some frozen cookie dough 2yrs ago from my coworker's daughter. Still in the freezer.

Simply say, 'no thank you'...we have already purchased cookies

Why are the parents trying to sell it? Thought it was the Girl Scouts that should sell

When I worked, I never got a chance to sign up. The parents would come by my office with the hard sell. Yes, those Samoans.

Ignore and move on with your life

Costco is now selling GS thin mint type dark chocolate covered pretzels. Damn good and almost impossible to put down without eating several handfuls.

Selling cookies used to be about teaching girls a number of life skills.

I doubt it’s been that for decades, GS corporate makes bank over these cookies. It’s about padding the executives pockets while the troops get hardly anything. I rather and do just donate directly to the troop instead of the stupid arse cookies.

I hate our Cub Scout fundraisers as well because they do the same slimy shite. Our council dropped popcorn sales finally and made a deal with Chattanooga Bakery to sell moon pies instead of popcorn and we actually get more than National by going this route. I hate moon pies though, wish we would make a similar deal with McKee and did Little Debbie stuff. I don’t think the Adventists like Scouts anymore though, think they went with Trail Life nonsense.

“Give me all the thin mints” is the proper response.
