Police swoop in and ban illegal peddlers...who were Girl Scouts selling cookies


But police weren't taking any chances when they cracked down on a Girl Scout cookie stand.

A police officer in Villa Rica, Atlanta, swooped in on members of Troop 7984 as they were selling their Thin Mints and Caramel deLites and asked them if they had a peddler's permit.

...

'He was scaring us because we thought we were going to go to jail forever.'

Both Villa Rica Police Chief Michael Mansour and Mayor J Allen Collins said they have spoken with the officer who dealt with the Girl Scouts, and they believe he did nothing wrong.

7. Good.
I am sick of Boy/Girl Scouts hounding me when I go into and leave a grocery store.

If you want to sell something, just sit there and wait for me to come over. Don't jump in front of me and wave your crap in front of my face and beg me to buy something.

Yes, I am a crabby old 40-something.

19. Hey, I just want to go to the grocery store and buy some food.
I don't need a 10 year old shoving some cookies or a ticket into my face and begging me to give them money.

I didn't have kids for a reason. Keep your kids outta my face, thank you.
