GREENSVILLE, S.C. — A South Carolina man spent over $500 on Girl Scout cookies Friday, and it wasn’t because they’re his favorite snack.

According to a Facebook post, the man originally stopped at the girls’ stand and bought seven boxes; he gave the girls $40 and told them to keep the change. The man wasn’t done though.
