anyone want to buy a candybar? Since Walmart refuses
to let them sit in their entrance way because it would take away from their candy sales


but they let girlscouts sell the cookies...


the candy bar sales are for her trip to Washington DC in April





Going to sit at Best Buy instead

7. I just bought 3 boxes from the little extortionists
Sitting there all cute and innocent..."Excuse me, sir, would you like to try a box of our new cookies?"

What am I supposed to say? "Screw you, little girl -- the last 15 thousand boxes I bought looked and tasted like dog food?" I'm such a sucker.

11. I like the cookies.....
And I don't mind supporting the Girl Scouts. But every year they make the cookies smaller and give you less. It's a total ripoff......

As a suggestion, they could raise the prices and keep everything the same.

13. Why sit anywhere?
When I was a kid, we never sat anywhere to sell our candy. We knocked on doors and/or sold to all of our relatives.
