I'm with you. No one needs cookies, let's face it!
I'm all for gut feelings, and being courted to spend money in this economy is a good sign of a business that is willing to go the extra mile!
If people really do want cookies, I will see if we can arrange a cookie buffet at the Crowne Plaza for Friday night. Saturday night will be our big banquet dinner party/DJ thing and I will make sure we have a nice dessert selection there too.
