That’s just the best way the skinny mint crumbles.
Girl Scout cookie enthusiasts could have to attend for his or her orders due to production issues at a Kentucky manufacturing facility, the organization announced Thursday.
“We share the frustration that some Girl Scout troops feel this cookie season,” Little Brownie Bakers, the producers of the long-lasting cookies, said in a Facebook post.
“Global supply chain issues, local labor shortages, and even unexpected severe weather have all impacted the selling season.”
LBB said its bakers are “working time beyond regulation” to fill the backlog of orders.
Clients should not letting the corporate off the hook quite so easily, nonetheless.
“This only hurts the ladies. The women are feeling let down, why try in the event that they can’t even get the product to their customers,” one troop leader said on Facebook. “Then when LBB doesn’t change their rewards deadlines, again, why try?!?”
“Strange you didn’t actually accept any blame. You pushed it to other groups,” one Facebook user wrote. “You screwed up, and your fake apology doesn’t put money into the accounts of the troops that need this money to operate.”
The production delays have been a problem for the corporate for the reason that kick-off of the cookie-selling season in January, sources told CNBC.
In an email obtained by the outlet, Girl Scout executives ensured local troop leaders that they expected LBB to be “more ahead of demand” than they’d been proving to be.
The stalled production only worsened last weekend after severe weather knocked out the facility at LBB’s Louisville factory, forcing the corporate to halt production for a whole weekend.
Delays have contributed to skyrocketing cookie prices, especially for the Girl Scout’s newest cookie “Raspberry Rally,” which is being auctioned off online for $100 or more.
