Subway sure did well marketing themselves as healthy fast food. I am sure as you pointed out add the extra 6 inches and a pile of mayo and you are back to Whopper status. Thanks for stopping by.

If you want to talk marketing strategies and economics, Subway is great. If you want to talk quality food and happy employees and managers….Subway is the worst fast-food sandwich shop in the country. Their meat is processed and paper thin. Worse than fresh and real! Their bread is NOT fresh. The calorie and carb content is based on a six inch sub ONLY! If you ordered a foot-long, chips, and drink, it’s just as unhealthy for you as a Whopper Meal from Burger King! Talk about stupid idiots that fall prey to marketing! Their advertising is misleading. And Jared got liposuction. Americans are losers and so are their tastea! If you think Subway is great tasting than you’re flat out dumb!

Some areas (Charlotte for example) raised their prices to $4/package in 2011. It is unrealistic to think that they would be the same price everywhere.

The advantage of the sign in the yard or on the car, is that we constantly run into folks who don’t know where to find cookies and are desperately looking for them. I doubt many girls use that as their only way to make sales, but rather as a way to boost their other sales. We no longer do door-to-door because we find it next to impossible to connect up with people to deliver cookies, and every year we find ourselves stuck with cookies that we are on the hook to pay for. We reach many more people by doing booth sales, and typically put in 20 hours a weekend because my daughter and her best friend are top sellers.

While I agree that many fundraisers do exploit children, I believe that the GS spends considerable effort to teach girls about setting personal and troop goals, how to talk to people, and even how to create a business plan. I have seen my quiet, introverted daughter go from too shy to sell to approaching the general manager of a car dealership with a proposal and a business card in hand. This year, at age 12, she sold over 1800 packages and helped raise about $850 in donations for a trip to Yellowstone. That is not exploitation — that is skill-building!
