Dear Girl Scout
Dear Girl Scout,
When you came to our house, knocking on our door, in the dead of winter this past January we thought you were an angel sent down from God! We no longer have a Girl Scout cookie connection in the family and you didn’t realize it when you knocked on our door but you had come to the right spot. We LOVE our GS Cookies. We ordered so many I think we probably consumed 90% of all of your orders for the GS cookie season. We were mutually happy, one might say.
And then something happened.
In the months that followed there was job loss, new job offer, and subsequent move. It wasn’t until we were firmly planted here in Texas that we remembered you, dear Girl Scout.
But we had never seen you before or since. We did not know your name or even what school you were from. Like I said, you showed up on our doorstep like an angel sent from Heaven.
I imagine that in the last few days you have probably knocked on our door looking for us, with your truck-load of cookies. I imagine you are probably wondering, now, how you will get rid of so many cookies after being stiffed by your Biggest Customer. I’m sorry, dear Girl Scout, but just know we didn’t forget about you.
Eventually I had to shift my loyalties and move on. I bought from the Girl Scout troop parked out front of the HEB here in town. They told me I was their Biggest Customer of the Day but I didn’t tell them that I only bought a fraction of what I had agreed to buy from you, Girl Scout.
I’m sorry. I hope you still get your cookie selling patch.

ROTFL!!!!!!!
How funny!!!
I love the HEB Girl Scouts! Their inventory rocks and it suits my instant gratification. Remember when you had to order them and then wait 10 months for them to show up??? Those days are over my friend!
Too bad you don’t know your little friend’s name…you could order by mail LOLOL
I am sure you will find another Scout friend who will supply you with ample amounts of sugar and loooooove

Oh, poor thing, if it wasn’t so far, I’d go sit in your former-drive and take some off her hands. We though we ordered plenty and here we are with only one box of Thin Mints left and loving the box of the new Cafe Cookies we tried on a whim.
Why do they only sell these once a year, think of the funds they would earn having a fall sale as well!

What’s a HEB? No cookie selling for us this year, the first time in 7 years!

I got hit by 2 different scouts…..LOL Damn things probably cost me 10 pounds!!!

Ahhh, HEB…. I’m from Texas you know. Never realized that HEB was a Texas thing until I moved to Pennsylvania and asked innocently, “Where’s the nearest HEB?” I got a funny look. Have fun with those cookies…. by the way, had you paid the girl yet? Girl scouts are creative little ones, so I’m sure she’ll work it out.

You can’t go anywhere here without tripping over a cookie haulin’ scout! I’m so peeved because they quit making Lemon Coolers! We ordered eight boxes and have bought another dozen at various boothes where ever we go. There’s not enough exercise in the world to work those things off (so why try!). Hope you get a fix!
