[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dude, its extra cookies not the end of the world. Put an email out to the troop that you have extras. People will buy them. [/quote]

What about our neighbors who have paid for cookies and then got nothing delivered?  [/quote]

You NEVER collect money up front for GS cookies. If you do you're not following the procedures. If no money is collected up front, there's no need to stress. There may be some disappointed customers but they're not out any money. If you are worried about paying for the cookies, post a FB message and see if you have any takers. Or your daughter can go door to door with cookies in hand to sell the extras. [/quote]

I'm a GS Troop Leader and that is 100% incorrect.  The Council takes the money out of the troop account BEFORE cookies are delivered.  So unless your troop has the extra cash to float all the orders, you MUST collect the money upfront.  Some familiies agree to float the cash for the people ordering -- I personally do that for my co-workers, because it is easier to collect the money when I deliver to them.  But I do not expect every family to personally float the cookies orders on their own bank account, so we instruct people to collect money up front.  That is the recommended GS procedure.

OP, I can't believe people are blaming you.  Your husband really messed up.  I would go over the sheet with my daughter and see if there's any way to figure out who did not get their cookies delivered -- maybe she forgot to do a whole section of the development?  (Based on what's left over, you might be able to piece it together.)  And then I would hold onto the extras for a bit to see if anyone finds you to ask about their cookies.

I'm in a similar situation with my husband stealing cookies out of other people's orders to eat.  I'm going to be really pissed if we end up short when I have to deliver them, but I think I ordered enough extra to account for that.[/quote]
