Even better than making a donation: Just buy them. Buy a whole bunch of Girl Scout Cookies and take a couple boxes with you any time you have to fly somewhere. As you’re getting on the plane, hand a box to the flight attendant and thank them in advance for their hard work. Because they do work very hard, they seem to get very little respect and entirely too much attitude, they don’t get to eat any of that food you’re miffed they’re not giving you enough of, and they just plain deserve to be thanked and recognized as fellow people. I don’t know if you can tip with cash, but it seems awkward. Girl Scout cookies fit easily in your (admit it, huge) carry-on or even coat pocket, and they’re pre-packaged so TSA shouldn’t have a problem letting them through. And they’re Girl Scout Cookies. Who doesn’t like those?
What’s in it for you? Well, if just taking a slam-dunk opportunity to be a nice guy isn’t enough, sometimes — not always, but sometimes — you’ll be remembered, be it with a friendly smile, a few extra bags of nuts, the whole can of ginger ale or even a free drink. Also, you get the admiring why-didn’t-I-think-of-that gazes from your fellow passengers who now are pretty sure you’re ahead of them in line for that exit row seat should it suddenly become available.
So there you go. Because commercial air travel isn’t going to get any better unless you make it better, and this will. Maybe for you, and definitely for the flight crew.

I always ask for the 0 calorie flavor aka donation. It gives the parents a giggle and sends some cookies to the military serving us

I’d rather give the cash because I’m on a palm-oil free diet for the planet.

I’ll buy those puppies and scarf ‘em down like I’m in a cookie eating contest while I’m sitting on the couch.

Nice play on words by Mr. Burke.

If I were down to my last 5 minutes on Earth and my last 5 bux and saw a Girl Scout selling cookies, I’d die broke but happy.
