What's cooler than a Girl Scout selling cookies?
A business-savvy Girl Scout who sets up shop outside a cannabis clinic to rev up her sales skills.
Thirteen-year-old Girl Scout Danielle Lei did brisk business last Monday selling Dulce de Leches and other flavors outside The Green Cross medical marijuana clinic in San Francisco, Mashable reported.
Danielle was able to sell 117 boxes within two hours outside the cannabis clinic -- 37 more than what she sold within the same time frame at a local Safeway the next day, according to Mashable.
"It's no secret that cannabis is an appetite stimulant -- so it's not shocking that a lot of our patients came and purchased cannabis, and then saw the cookies and purchased them," said Holli Bert, a spokesperson for The Green Cross. "But it wasn't just patients, staff members and neighbors also bought the cookies. I personally bought five boxes. It turned out to be a big success."
Bert said that Danielle's mother had contacted The Green Cross to set up the sale outside the store.
"We were happy to have her (Danielle) come -- she is extremely business savvy," Bert said.
Danielle's mother Carol takes her two daughters to different places around San Francisco to sell cookies so that "they can learn about different environments," Mashable reported.
Carol told NBC Bay Area that the family is not doing any interviews.
Green Cross is so happy with the outcome that they have invited Danielle back to their store on Saturday, Feb. 22, from 4 to 6 p.m. for a repeat performance.
The Green Cross posted about Danielle's visit on its Facebook page, including a link to an external poll, which asks people whether Girl Scouts should sell cookies outside legal marijuana shops.
The Girl Scouts of Northern California don't have a problem with this business strategy.
Dana Allen, the organization's marketing and communications director, told Mashable that "the mom decided this was a place she was comfortable with her daughter being at."
"We're not telling people where they can and can't go if it's a legitimate business," she said.
Ruh roh!
Going down the street to the other grocery store and see if they’re there
I hope you find them. Don't need anymore incidents of cookie rage on the streets of America.
Dana Allen, the organization’s marketing and communications director, axed “Where her daughter at?”
And the mother wants the girl to see differently environments. I wonder if she’ll take her to see the “hood”.
maybe she will take her to nudist camps and a Nevada brothel too?
Sweet!
They were at the store down the street.
Our local grocery store no longers allows anyone to solicit in front of their store.
I suggest rickshaws.
Msg rcvd. Guess I just cant believe you’d condone a girlscout selling cookies to drug users knowingly. It just strikes me strange if you’re a conservative, that’s all.
LOL
Sohhhhh Good!
I luv lemon
Nickshaws .....
LOL....
She could be “selling to drug users” anywhere she sells. Would that also mean I “condone” selling to drug users? All I condone is her freedom to sell cookies whereever she has a right to sell them. That is not the same as “condoning a girlscout selling to drug users”.
I’m having a hard time connecting what you said to my comment. It would be interesting to hear a rational explanation, if not don’t worry, I don’t care too much about it.
I’ve thought about this today. I would not want my kid doing it. The term ‘ill gotten gains’ comes to mind. What I figure, is the mother is likely one of their pot smoking customers or supporters. Go visit the little girl’s home, you’ll probably find it billowing with marijuana smoke or sticky residue, now overly sprayed with Febreeze.
Pshaw.

But she speciically chose a place she where there would be drug users. I wonder where a lot of those “medical patients” get there money to buy their drugs? I’d bet quite a bit if it comes directly or indirectly from soical programs hich means the taxpayers are not only paying for the drugs, they’re pying or their munchies too. So tell me, do you inhale?...: )

I’d bet not.
“See a need....Fill a need.”

That was one of the places she chose, not the only one. If she set up outside a church she could sell to drug users, some who might “directly or indirectly from “social” programs “hich” means the taxpayers”.
I’ve already said I’ve never even tried any type of street drug. What about you? Do you spell that bad when you are sober?
speciically
soical
hich
pying
or
IPad
Liberal confirmation.
Is not the very nature of our capitalist system to exploit untapped, under served markets?
