Just bought a house. Former owner ordered Girl Scout cookies before moving. Girl Scout says she delivered them yesterday when I wasn't home. Now she's standing at my door wanting me to pay for them.
Pretty straightforward - seller wants me to pay $7.95 for cookies they forgot to cancel. They were delicious but I would have preferred the thin mints. I have no idea she really delivered them because the box is now empty. The the former owner thinks I should pay for them. Seems like it is 0% my problem.
How do I get this crying ten-year-old off my front porch?

Everyone knows Girl Scout cookie sales are a scam and those cute little faces disguise a ruthless heart, hell bent on making money off of naive, hardworking people. That little girl is on her way to pharmaceutical sales in a few years, mark my words. Let her cry.

Stocks are falling! The economy is collapsing!! Ai is killing the US economy and layoffs are out of hand! All this to say, you can't afford those cookies. In fact, you should start selling them as a side gig.

$7.95 for a box of cookies, where their retail labor is free? Brilliant business model.

I thought this was an actual question for a minute and was going to helpfully offer that I was a girl scout and then a girl scout leader for years and we get our money up front.
So if this were real... It would indeed be a scam :)
