[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Selling Girl Scout cookies was such a huge developmental process for me. My cookie partner and I role played with our moms before we went out, I had to tackle my social anxiety and I learned how to present myself to strangers. I also learned how to make change and the foundations of business etiquette. (My mom accompanied us to every house and stood at the edge of the driveway while we went to the door.)

Every time someone comes to the office with their kid’s cookie sheet to gin up sales while their kid chills at home, I want to scream. [/quote]

I would suggest you ask those parents if their child is selling at a booth or door to door as well. I bring my sons fundraising sheet to work only after he has done a booth shift and he has a plan for door to door. Once he has done his bit, I will see if co-workers are interested in popcorn. It benefits us for him to sell a good amount of popcorn because our Pack allows kids to sell a certain amount in order to pay their dues. And he earns gift cards for each $250 he sells. He can sell enough to pay for summer camp as well. I would actually bring him to work to give his sales pitch if I was allowed to but I am not so all I can do is offer it up to my co-workers. He does write thank you notes for my co-workers.

You can also simply say no thank you and not buy any from your co-workers and accept that different families take different approaches. [/quote]
