[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who has done scout sales would understand that scouts don't order a little of this and a little of that and then hope it matches what people pre-ordered. The number of boxes received should exactly equal the number of boxes on the sheet. And the scout parent has to deliver the money before taking possession of any cookies. It's a grid, with name on each row and the exact type of cookies each person ordered (and paid for). How could anybody screw this up? I would be livid, knowing that neighbors paid for cookies that my DH was sitting there eating.[/quote]

Actually, having just done scout sales, if you have preorders for 7 boxes of thin mints, you need to order a case (so 12 boxes).  So it's totally possible for "left overs" - this is why people sell them at cookie booths

The "left overs" that you paid for (when you put down the deposit for the cookies) your daughter should work with the troop to sell at the cookie booth.

As for the way OP talks about her husband.  Yikes.[/quote]

Op says that she picked up the exact order based on the orders on her daughter's sheet.  She didn't pick up extra cookies, she had the exact number of boxes to deliver.

Any extra boxes would have gone to the sidewalk sale that the troop does.[/quote]

Cookie momster here. For us, in the Nation's Capital region of the GS, The TROOP does get extra cookies because we can only order full cases of cookies. Each case has 12 boxes of cookies in it. If a troop odered a total of 11 boxes of thin mints they would get a case of thin mints, so would have one box left over. Which somebody has to pay for (yes, the booth sales, or neighbors, etc. etc.). But that is troop based. No troop will end up with more than 11 extra boxes of each cookie flavor.

But each GIRL gets exactly what she ordered.

Perhaps dad ordered his own leftovers.[/quote]

[b]For the last time, dad did not do the ordering.  Mom did. [/b] [/quote]

So YOU (mom) didn't keep track of who ordered? You said that dad didn't keep track of who ordered.... why didn't you give him a list of who ordered? What the big deal anyway? Just look at your list of who ordered and see who got their stuff?

By the way... you sound horrible [/quote]

You aren't really following along.  Op's dh took their daughter out and got orders/payment from their neighbors.  Op took the order sheet and payment to the Cookie Mom.  The Cookie Mom gave Op the exact number of boxes ordered on the sheet. Op and the Cookie Mom verified the number of boxes.  Op brought the boxes home and her dh/daughter went out to deliver them to the people on their order sheet.  They returned after doing "all" of their deliveries but still had boxes leftover.  If they had delivered to everyone on the sheet, there should not be extra boxes.

I don't know how Op is now supposed to know who got what.  Op is not the one who did the delivery.  Nor is the Op the one who took the orders and the payments for those orders.

It is possible that Op's husband fudged some of the order info for some reason and wrote down bogus names/addresses and paid for the bogus orders himself.  If that's the case, I guess those cookies are his to keep but he should explain that to Op.

No we're all following along. She sounds horrible and her terrible marriage is because of her hyper critical attitude toward her husband.
We're talking $20-$40 of Girl Scout cookies here - no reason to lambast the husband. Fix it and be nice about it.

I ask this a lot - but is this post from a trailer park?[/quote]
PP, you are a horrible person. You don't know the value of the girl scout cookies that her husband stole from their neighbors. However, the point is that he did steal the cookies by failing to deliver them to people who ordered and paid for them. And what's with the trailer park insult? What is that supposed to imply? That people who care about others are trashy? OP doesn't even know which neighbors received their orders. How is she supposed to deliver the undelivered cookies? Or reimburse those who paid for their orders? Maybe she should just give $20 to each and every person on the order list. Does that sound less trailer park to you? Jerk![/quote]
