13 Year Old Girl Sells Girl Scout Cookies Outside Medical Marijuana Retail
Shop | BREAKING STORY
It’s that time of year again. Time when your local market entrances are
flooded with Girl Scouts selling boxes of Samoas, Tagalongs and Thin Mints.
But one 13-year-old Girl Scout in San Francisco and her mother made a
rather business-savvy decision to sell cookies outside of a medical
marijuana dispensary.
On Monday, Danielle Lei and her mother set up shop outside the Green Cross
store with the cookies. With the store’s blessing, Lei sold 117 boxes in
two hours.

Holli Bert, a spokeswoman for the Green Cross, said that after just 45
minutes, Lei had to call for backup cookies to replenish her stock.
“You put it in terms that they may understand,” Lei’s mother, Carol, told
Mashable. “I’m not condoning it, I’m not saying go out in the streets and
take marijuana. It also adds a little bit of cool factor. I can be a cool
parent for a little bit.”

According to Kelly Parisi, chief communications officer from Girl Scouts of
the USA, each region of Girl Scouts has its own guidelines.
“All the money stays in local councils, and they make all decisions on how
the cookie program is run,” said Parisi in a statement. “As always, our
primary concern is the safety and well-being of the girls we serve.
Volunteers and parents are empowered to relocate their booths if conditions
change and the location is no longer suitable.”
With no opposition from Lei’s local Girl Scouts chapter, she and her mother
plan to return to the Green Cross to sell more cookies Saturday.

[Updated at 12:03 p.m. Feb. 21: “To date, we have not attempted to list
either “permitted” or “prohibited” locations and have relied on parents and
volunteers to make wise decisions for their girls,”said Dana Allen,
Director of Marketing and Communications of the Girls Scouts of Northern
California, the region Lei belongs to. “As always, we evaluate our policies
and procedures at the end of each cookie sale and will consider whether
further guidelines will be beneficial regarding booth site selection.”]

The Girl Scouts of Colorado issued a tweet expressing their disapproval of
the situation. “If you are wondering, we don’t allow our Girl Scouts to
sell cookies in front of marijuana shops or liquor stores/bars” read the
tweet.
The Green Cross, which also sells a variety of marijuana named Girl Scout
Cookie, has posted numerous items on its Facebook page referencing Lei,
with one comical post featuring the Dos Equis beer “most interesting man in
the world.”

“I don’t always buy Girl Scout cookies, but when I do, I buy them from the
genius outside The Green Cross pot dispensary,” reads the post.
Do you think the mother-daughter duo are business-savvy or inappropriate?
