"That's part of the conversation we'll have this year," says Lou."It really is a little microcosm of what it's like to run your business and deal with the real pressures — including inflation." "They're like, 'What?'" Madison says."That was one of the hard parts: telling people that inflation has come to their nostalgic cookies."
The"Tagalong effect"Proceeds from the cookie sales cover about 70% of the Girl Scouts' budget in San Diego. "Because it isn't just about a cookie, right?" says Lyons Wyatt, executive vice president at Circana, a global market research firm."Now, granted, if they did something crazy like it's going to cost you 20 bucks for one little package, OK, well then maybe we would find that there's a cliff. But if we're talking a nominal increase in price, I don't think it's going to have an impact on demand.
“Sitting in classrooms right before a test and seeing how many legs are shaking, how many kids have their heads on their desks ... the eyes that I see as I’m walking through hallways, the bathroom stalls that I walk in with just plumes of vape smoke,” Sakamoto said.Sakamoto remembered a formative moment from class a couple years back. Distraught after the death of her grandfather, she was crying when a classmate she rarely talked with silently offered her hand.
