Nothing can stop the Girl Scout cookie season – not even a pandemic.
In normal times, student Allie Shroyer of Scottsdale, Arizona, may have sold cookies to her neighbors face to face, but the coronavirus pandemic forced her to rethink her strategy.
In a now viral video, Allie delivered her adorable sales pitch to a doorbell security camera, which her mother, Kristen Shroyer, posted on Facebook last week.
“Hi, I’m Allie!” she says, standing in front of the camera. “Would you like to buy some cookies from the Girl Scouts? What kind would you like?”

“You can buy $ 5 each, so would you like one?” she adds a little later. “Or two or three or four or five? Or six or seven or eight or nine or ten? I don’t know, maybe 11, 12? Well, that’s a lot.”
For those who aren’t sure which cookies to order, Allie said the colors of the cookie box can help potential customers decide.
“What is your favorite color because the boxes are colors,” she says, adding that if your favorite color is one of the colors of the cookie boxes, “then you can choose it.
“So, would you like to buy some?” Allie says as she finishes her presentation. “I have all kinds. Thank you.”

Kristen told People that the security bell sales pitch was the “second best thing” after the cookie sales in person.
“I knew she couldn’t go door to door, so we thought the next best thing would be to record a sales pitch at the door,” Kristen told the magazine.

“It is important for us that she still learns the skills she would learn by going door-to-door compared to her mother just by sending a link,” she added. “She had no preparation. We just reminded her of the price of the boxes and told her to give us her best selling point.”
