Terrible Optics for this Chase Commercial and the Girl Scouts (if these are in fact Girl Scout Cookies.)

 



1.  Apparently it's not about raising money for a good cause.  It's a major competition that only one of these very competitive little girls can win, and both are determined to be the Champion Number One Whatever.  The cookies are just the means by which a Champion can be Crowned.

2.  The moment we gained access to digital payment options, handling actual currency became incredibly awkward, virtually impossible.  Because I grew up handling cash and I can't remember it being this big a deal to transfer paper from one hand to another or even to (gasp) make change.  

3.  Yeah, digital payments are totally flawless and would never accidentally duplicate themselves.  I don't know why every transaction isn't a worry-free tap of a phone, those NEVER go wrong.

4.  You roll your eyes at me while I'm trying to help your cause, and I'm cancelling the sale and keeping my money.  This little girl does it TWICE.  What a great representative of her generation.  Goodbye, little girl.  I can buy cookies from anyone, including at the store, with cash, without the condescending, triggered annoyed looks.  I'm sooooo sorry it's taking more than thirty seconds to finish this transaction, but please avoid this "problem" by skipping my house next year.
