28. Thin Mints and... Tagalongs?

Those were the oatmeal cookies with peanut butter, right?

But yeah, they’ve gotten skimpy on the cookies as the price goes up. Back in the day, we had to do it ALL—go door to door and sell those damned things, then when your troop received their order, you had to go back around the neighbourhood to deliver and collect payment. What does it teach kids about business when they’re all sold by mums at a card table as a kid or two fidgets awkwardly?

(Harumpf. I’ve obviously reached the stage of Grumpy Old Fart, I see… )
