[quote=Anonymous]We do go door to door but it’s pretty discouraging because it’s really hard to find people at home or they just don’t answer the door.  We’ve been doing this for years and now my daughter will generally only go to houses where she knows people like the cookies.  I did convince her to try a new neighbor that just moved in this year.  Door sales ended Sunday otherwise I’d tell you to post on your neighborhood listserve to ask someone to come by.  Booth sales will be in feb and March — you can check GSCNC.org to search online for where to find a booth.

As far as accosting, all GS should know that they follow the GS law in sales — which includes being friendly and helpful, honest and fair, considerate and caring, respectful, etc.  I’ve really never seen girls who weren’t, but if you have an issue, please just remind the girls and the adults with them of the GS Law.  Sometimes kids get carried away and forget their better selves.  My girls are enthusiastic sellers but know that if someone says no, their response is “thank you.  Have a great day.”   (If you say something like “I don’t have cash” they may say “we take credit!” And if you say “I don’t eat gluten” they may say “we have a gluten free cookie” etc/. So if you really don’t want them, just say no thank you)
