I walked into a Walgreens store to buy a few things and was startled by a sales pitch. "Would you like to buy some Girl Scout cookies?" said two girls in uniforms, simultaneously. I looked up and saw two girls and two Moms standing by a table stacked with colorful boxes of expensive cookies. Feeling bad I said, "I didn't bring money in." "We take checks," said both girls in the exact same intonation, time and style. I said I didn't bring checks either and walked off to make my purchases. The fact that the girls greeted me in total unison plus the fact that I have worked way too many cookie booths in my day resulted in me scrounging through my car to come up with eight dollars - enough for one box of trefoils and one box to donate to the food shelf in Anoka. I told the girls that I was back because of their amazing stereophonic sales pitch. They guessed they had sold about 60 boxes so far which I think is impressive for a little store like Walgreens. Who can resist an energetic Girl Scout sales pitch? Not I.
