Seems a girl found the magic place to sell her Girl Scout Cookies. 300 boxes in about 6 hour. That’s about one box a minute. Where did she pull this off… (work safe spoiler) In front of a San Diego cannabis dispensary of course. link; [https://www.10news.com/news/girl-scout-sells-more-than-300-boxes-of-cookies-at-san-diego-marijuana-dispensary](https://www.10news.com/news/girl-scout-sells-more-than-300-boxes-of-cookies-at-san-diego-marijuana-dispensary) Oh, and \*Girl Scout Cookies \*is also the name of a potent cannabis strain. Capitalism and opportunity. ---

She’s not the first. (From 2014) [Girl Scout sells 117 cookie boxes in two hours outside pot dispensary](https://www.yahoo.com/news/blogs/sideshow/girl-scout-sells-117-cookie-boxes-in-two-hours-outside-pot-dispensary-230640827.html) > [@](#): > > Want to sell a lot of Girl Scout Cookies? Set up shop outside a pot dispensary. > > Just about everyone loves Girl Scout Cookies. And one 13-year-old girl came up with an ingenious strategy to significantly boost her sales: setting up shop outside a San Francisco medical marijuana dispensary. > > In a major surprise to no one, it was a huge hit, with Danielle Lei selling 117 boxes in just two hours. > > Some chapters of the Girl Scouts have objected to the report but\*\* the Northern California branch that oversees Danielle’s area says they have no problem with her business strategy since it was conducted outside of a legal establishment.\*\* > > "The mom decided this was a place she was comfortable with her daughter being at,” Dana Allen, director of marketing and communications for Girl Scouts of Northern California, told Mashable. “We’re not telling people where they can and can’t go if it’s a legitimate business.” it’s cool that the Girl Scout organization is fine with it. ---

that’s been popular since a girl in Colorado made the news for doing it …supposedly she was the biggest seller of girl scout cookies in Colorado … ---

There should be a pot leaf shaped merit badge for this, maybe with a dollar sign incorporated somehow. ---

Walmart gets more foot traffic, though. A couple years ago, the Torqueling and I worked a cookie booth with one other girl (the troop leader’s daughter) outside a Walmart. Don’t know why it was so busy that day, but business was booming. I kept running back to the troop leader’s car to get more cases of cookies. Finally, just at the end of the 4-hour shift, we _sold out_. I went to the car for more cookies, and there was nothing left. For those four hours of selling, each girl got credit for selling 200 boxes (400 total). A hundred an hour. Pretty brisk.
