I saw this on the news. A mother was fired from her job for seeling Girl Scout cookies for her daughter. The reason: she had a cash business on the side. That excuse is as bad as being fired from your job because "Your too beautiful!" As long as what your doing does not interfere in you job itself. Still, I know that there are places you can sell girl scout cookies, but to be fired from your job because you know people at work that want to buy girl scout cookies from you is rediculous. As far as selling girl scout cookies, seeling them is something you do for your daughter. A cash business can be anything but to lose your job over something your doing to help your daughter is rediculous to me. How many of you do sell Girl Scout cookis to those you know at work?

It is one of the rules for certain companies that selling is not encouraged. And so some would be just hiding their stuff or would be meeting outside the office instead. But I do feel bad for the mother when all she wanted was to help her daughter.

Hmm... times have changed.
When I was a Girl Scout back in the day, we had to sell our own cookies. Our mommies didn't do it for us.

I don't know anything about girls scout cookies, and I don't know is that she got fired because too beautiful is literal means or not, but i heard, ironically some people getting fired just simply they are considered as too beautiful. Confusing right?

These companies are getting really, tight about things now, you can sell thing on your job, for other companies, because they felt like this woman, wasn't loyal to her job, that she already had, so since she was selling girl scout cookies, for her daughter t, this was her side job, because she was getting money, from selling the cookies.
