      Yeah they haven’t gone door to door in decades where I live. I can’t remember is they ever did actually.

      Sometimes at work a Girl Scout parent will ask you to buy some. I remember buying cans of nuts though, not cookies. And yeah they set up a little table by the entrance to a grocery store. Some people say they like certain types of their cookies, which they apparently can’t get at the grocery store which also sells many cookies. I don’t like cookies and so I don’t know shit about cookies. But that’s where they sell them.

        My brother sold nuts through Boy Scouts, and they now call themselves Scouting America so that girls can be involved, so maybe that’s where the nuts came from? I don’t think I’ve heard of any Girl Scout troop not selling cookies; it’s a big deal and the main fundraising for activities. Unfortunately.
