[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my dd's troop orders are rounded up by the case. So if you order 4 boxes of trefoils you'll have 8 leftover boxes.  We had some of every kind left over.  It's my understanding a lot of troops do that.

So OP if that is how your kid's troop works you are a huge bitch. (And I don't throw that around).  Even if they don't round up you are still terrible. Really. He handled the entire cookies sale?  The most annoying part of being a scout? You're giving he grief for extra boxes?  You should kiss his feet.

The abundance can be managed by selling more. Giving as gifts. Eating them. They freeze beautifully. [/quote]

This has already been addressed. The cookie mom of OP's troop orders the cases, and each individual scout only takes the boxes they sold.

I'm kind of amazed at the number of people here who think OP's husband deserves a participation trophy for taking people's money and then keeping their cookie orders for himself.[/quote]

I know, it's ridiculous. And the people who think every troop does everything the same way are showing how little they know about Girl Scouts. There are basic guidelines from each level (national, council, service unit, troop and family), but every time you drop down a level, there's more variation in the rules. I'm not in DC, and our council does cookies on demand. It's so much easier. We estimate how many cookies we'll sell, order them, sell them-exchange cookies for $ at the same time, return the extra cases by the return date, and boom. Finished. No more preorders, deliveries, and trying to track people down and they can pay for the cookies at that moment.

However, I've done preorders and have been cookie momming for many years, and they messed up such a simple task. Yes, i can see how it happened, but there's really no excuse for it.  And yes, it's not the end of the world, but that doesn't mean it's not a problem.

And for those of you saying DH needs to solve it, op said he's eating the cookies and saying it's not a problem, and blowing up at her when the tries to discuss it. How is that solving anything? I would imagine most people don't know how to contact them to let them know their order is missing or wrong. So he has to reach out to them, or he stole ~$80 of cookies from neighbors. [/quote]
