[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just wish they (and all the other groups) weren’t outside the grocery stores.  I hate being accosted as I’m going in and out of the store.[/quote]

So being asked “would you like to buy some cookies?” by a 10 year old is being accosted?  Lady you need to unclench and get out  more.  A quick no thank you is the response you need to learn.

Or call the police since you were accosted  :roll:  :roll: [/quote]
They don’t just ask. They come running up in a group, asking loudly if you want some cookies, both on the way in and the way out. You have to sidestep them and maneuver your cart around them and say no many times. And no, of course I’m not going to report them, it’s just annoying. I wish they could set up their booth and quietly wait at the table to take orders if customers go to the table. I know they are there; if I want cookies, I know what to do. I don’t need a bunch of girls swarming and yelling to get my attention on the way in and out. Perhaps the girls at my giant are particularly enthusiastic.[/quote]

It’s just you. Our booths are nothing like this. [/quote]

No, it’s not just her. This has happened at multiple supermarkets.[/quote]

I’m a troop leader (for 8 years now).  Seriously, say something. (Nicely.). Just say “Girls, I’m sorry but you are not allowed to block the entrance. “.  The council has to promise the stores not to harass customers and we lose the opportunity to sell at stores if customers complain.  GS goes to a lot of effort to teach girls respectful selling so those troops are just falling down on the job.  I  find that most kids are immediately abashed when an adult nicely points out to them that they are not acting respectfully.  [/quote]
