Apparently, Cookie Monster sold in the recent GS cookie sales and went a little crazy.
People outside of Girl Scouts just don't understand the pressures that are put on us to sell, sell, sell. They think it's all smiles and cute little girls. But in reality, it's worse than any retail job you'll ever have... And you don't even get paid for it!
There's pressure to outsell your friends. Pressure to meet quotas. Pressure to badger the public to pay for outtings your parents REALLY want you to go on so they can get you out of their house.

It's no wonder Cookie Monster snapped.
