[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is in GS because she enjoys it, but I can’t get behind the cookies. We don’t try to sell them to anyone who doesn’t ask for them. I think she sold 30 boxes this year, all from people who requested them. I stand by my opinion that GS cookies and GS are kiddie-MLM and their product. It’s borderline disgusting. [/quote]

I have a church friend that had her seven year old daughter call me on her phone.  I thought the Mom was calling to say hi and check in during COVID.  Instead, it was her daughter leaving a message and asking me to return her call to see if I wanted to buy cookies.  I did not call her back because I really don't want to buy an cookies.  This is a Mom who has had had two  drive by birthday  parties for her daughters and sent me a link to buy Pampered Chef from her.  Enough!.  Lo and behold, the Mom texted me to find out when I had time to speak to her daughter. UGH...how do I say no to a 7 years old over the phone?  I gave in and and bought some because the daughter is sweet but I feel so used by this friend.  We all have choices to make during COVID and I failed to stand my ground.  If you're going to sell to friends, simply send them a link and give them the option to buy them if they want to.[/quote]

FWIW, my daughter's a GS and I think it's TOTALLY fine to say no (though I completely understand why you feel otherwise). I personally can't stand the organization and hope my daughter decides she's over it after this year, but we've taught her troop that the correct response to people who decline to purchase cookies is, "Thank you, have a nice day." Not making a sale is a good life lesson![/quote]
