7. Did You Buy them
or help peddle them?

When I was a GS, I sold the 2nd highest volume, without my mother's help in signing pledges, etc. I did it door - door, and with permission of a nursing home owner, I did ask if the residents wanted to buy GS cookies. Most of them bought the peanut butter ones no one wanted at the time, which boost my sales. I also kept up with them at Easter time, etc, to boost their spirits in return.

I think most GS DON'T sell D-D, and it's so different from my parents' generation that more GS rely their parents do their work for them. If the girls don't do it door-door (unless permits are required and expensive), then I'm not as inclined to buy them. I've told anyone at work their daughters have to personally sell me the cookies.

Other thoughts...?
