Maybe because I was a Girl Scout many, many years ago, I don't mind the cookie hustle. Having to ask random people walking in and out of a pharmacy or grocery store made me a person who knows that she does not want to sell anything ever. That and having to stand in the middle of the street to collect money for cheerleading helped me from never getting sucked into any MLM.
All things considered, I'd prefer a GS cookie seller next to me than another kind of dealer. Or maybe not, I'd actually spend money on the cookies and would probably be a lot more customers.
