We did the Girl Scouts cookie sale in front of Albertson (a grocery store). Girls asked every single person coming out of the store, "Would you like to buy some Girl Scouts cookies?" We sold 123 boxes at $4 each. 75 cents per box remain with us for the troop's use. We thus raised $92.25 today for our future activities. Isn't that pretty good?

Older caucasion people tend to buy more than other groups. Asians tend to simply ingore and pass the booth. Yikes! Girls, not yet equipped with prejudice, ask any person who passes by. We had a punky-looking, post-teenager with spiky hair and studded bracelet. I said in my heart, "Not him..." Yes, girls asked him. Surprisingly, he said, "Ok, I would get Samoa (name of the cookie) real quick," and took out his wallet. We also had a woman who took out $20 and got 5 boxes right away, or another woman who said, "I will give you the money and you share a box of your choice." It was a fun experience. We enjoyed it.
