Meet Daneille Lei -- a Girl Scout and a typically enterprising ABC. Even though she's just 13, she's already learned a basic precept of successful marketing: go where your customers are!Danielle has proved the wisdom of choosing the right location by selling 117 boxes of cookies in just under two hours from her stand outside The Green Cross medical marijuana dispensary in San Francisco. According to clinic staff, she sold out of her first batch within 45 minutes.
Walt notes that the old bland cookies of his youth [He was a buyer, not a seller! Ed.] have been supplanted by things like Tagalongs and Thin Mints, which I guess are more nutritious. ??? Danielle is trying to move 1200 boxes of the junk [Oh c'mon! Ed.] in the next two weeks. Half of the proceeds will go to charitable organizations related to Alzheimer’s in some way which I've forgotten.
Her choice of location was approved by the Girl Scouts of Northern California, who said it was not up to them to decide where the cookies could be sold. Green Cross employee Holli Bert said she was not surprised by the volume of biscuits being sold. "It's no secret that cannabis is a powerful appetite stimulant, so we knew this would be a very beneficial endeavour for the girls," she said. "It's all about location, and what better place to sell Girl Scout cookies than outside a medical cannabis collective?"
The cookie stand proved so popular that Danielle and her fellow Girl Scouts [Isn't that an oxymoron? Ed.] were invited back for the Saturday just past. Perhaps this time they brought Twinkies!
Note from Ed.: What? You don't know what an "ABC" is? We're talking San Francisco here -- the birthplace of fortune cookies. Got it now? Thanks to Agent 34 for the [pot]heads up!
