Your opinion- Girl Scout Cookie mishap

[PixieDust32]

Just curious what you would do in this situation. I want my money back.

Someone at work was selling GSC, and I bought some (for me & my mom who is a Thin Mint addict). I had a pretty decent sized order. When the cookies came in, she asked for the money, I paid her, and she was to give me the cookies that night at the end of shift since they were in her car. She ended up leaving early and we missed each other. No big deal. I work with her on Fri nights only, and apparently she took all the cookies on Monday and put them on the counter in the breakroom, no note or name on them or anything. They disappeared. (of course)

Several coworkers admit they saw cookies in the breakroom, no note or name, and not in a bag or anything. Just a stack of cookies. Now I think I should get my money back since I never got my cookies, and she is saying it is not her fault someone stole them. I think it is her fault. What do you think?By the way, I also feel that I should mention there are several other people who paid for cookies and either didn't get them, or did not get what they ordered. SO something is a little "off" with this lady. I know I am going to end up with no money and no cookies, I just think it is crazy that this lady thinks it was ok to just toss em on the counter. Even if I had been at work, I would not have taken them if they did not have my name on them.

Next year I am predicting poor cookie sales for this woman. lol.

You should get your money back! She should have give YOU the cookies in person, you never received them and you never saw them, so she didn't delivered anything to you.
You gave her the money in person so the right thing to do is to deliver the product in person. She is the only one responsible.
Contact her troop or cancel you check, if you gave her a check.

It is against policy to take money with the orders however it is done of course.

.

That is absolutely NOT allowed around here, we are not allowed to do that at all. I wouldn't buy any with the pay ahead rule either. Especially not from a neighbor or coworker I hardly knew.

Girl Scouts are NEVER supposed to collect money before delivery of the cookies. That was the first thing they told us when we went to "cookie training". It is totally against their policy. My friends troop insisted that the kids get payment in advance- I told her to call council since the troop would not budge on that and council set them straight quick- they told them that they would not be allowed to sell cookies in the future if they took the money in advance- the troop changed their rule on that quick!!

When my girls were in GS and sold cookies I remember that part from the training class, no money until delivering the cookies.
