We bought cookies from a young lady in our neighborhood for years. I was so glad to see her graduate and go off to college. I'd buy the cookies and give them away. In our county there is a new regulation, a solicitors permit is needed to go door to door, so we haven't seen anyone this year selling anything on our door step. Our local Wal-Mart received a lot of complaints about the aggressive sales pitch from GS and other groups they no longer allow them outside the store or in the parking lot. I like that I'm not approached when I enter or leave the store. HALLOWEEN Candy, yes we buy and give out the good stuff.....it's call "protection".
