tp be honest, they had no idea why one would buy so much candy all at once, especially with all singles. I explained why and she was shocked. can walmart do something against this? will they care?
Not sure Walmart can or should do anything about someone coming in and buying something from their store. Something like that would open up one heck of a can of worms. What next? I have the police coming to my door because Walmart reported that I bought too many bars of soap all at once?
People need to be smart enough to recognize whether someone selling door to door is legit or not (candy out of the big blue bin is NOT legit!) and if you're not sure, just don't buy anything. Or better yet just don't answer the door.
Exactly. It's not illegal to buy candy at Wal-Mart with singles. Wal-Mart is not expected to police legal sales in their store.
It's up to individuals who answer their doors to not buy when something looks fishy. We have kids coming by all the time and they'll tell you the district they are from (not our town).
I haven't seen Girl Scouts selling cookies in years. The schools still have kids sell candy (i.e., parochial schools for fund raising and sometimes raffles) but most of the parents have wised up and sell to family members and co-workers instead of having their kids go door to door.
Every once in a while, I see kids selling candy for churches and youth organizations outside of supermarkets, banks and such.
I think the door-to-door has died out. No one has rung my bell in so long, I'd be suspicious if someone did.
Nobody knocks on my door..I mean NOBODY! Sure enough yesterday bang bang bang on the door. It's some girl pushing candy. I've given cash to the EI lacrosse players but this girl didn't even have a speech lined up or anything.

Ive seen the girl scouts this year. I see them setting up camp outside pathmark in seaford and in the sunrise mall. I also see them at the train station in the afternoon. I cant believe how much the prices went up and how much smaller the boxes have gotten since I was a kid.

They were at a Borders Bookstore a few months ago...and yea I just had to get the Thin Mints
When I rented in franklin square, I used to get young black kids (middle school age) selling candles and crap like that. Never girls. Always boys. They carried around this big rubbermaid tub. I never bought any of this crap so I never cared if it was real or a scam. Leave it to my girlfriend (wife now) who "felt bad" and bought the candle. I looked at it as a waste of good money on a candle that didn't smell, probably purchased at the dollar store and sold for 7 bucks as part of a bigger scam to promote some imaginary place and program.

THey're still here in Franklin Square. Usually at night carrying big blue tub of store bought candy asking $3 for.
Excuse me, just what do you think Wal-Mart is doing wrong ! they are in the business of selling goods . Surely you wouldn't want them to discrimate against anyone would you ?
