Nope. I’ve been managing cookies for 10 years and that is absolutely not how it works. Maybe that’s how your troop cookie manager does things, but they are in violation of policy.[/quote]

OMG, you are really the epitome of the cookie mom stereotype. Just stop.[/quote]

New poster, not the person to whom you're replying. YOU should "just stop" with the idea of a negative "cookie mom stereotype." Those cookie parents (dads do it too) are incredibly important to helping troops earn funds to do activities all year long. And these volunteers get no pay but put in a lot of time to train to learn the rules that the PP understands but which you think are "OMG"-worthy. GS has those rules and roles so that troop monies are collected in transparent, documented and above-board ways. Sorry if financial transparency annoys you. If GS didn't do this, they'd get bashed for being lax and careless with money, yet when GS has procedures to follow, people like you whine about it. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

If you have had a kid in GS, did you ever think to thank the troop cookie manager? I'm betting not.

--Longtime troop leader who never had to double as cookie manager because our girls had parents who actually helped out. Have you? [/quote]
