Does anyone here still get their milk delivered by a milkman?

Just wondering because I just started a job recently as a milkman, driving a big ole milk truck around at 4am delivering milk and i'm just wondering if a lot of AT people get their milk delivered. 30 years ago 75 percent of people had their milk delivered and now they say it's only 1 percent. If you don't get it delivered you should, it tastes a hell of a lot better and I get more money, not to mention I get to meet a ton of hot chicks. Not that meeting hot chicks matters to me because I look at no one but my fiance.😉

For those of you wondering, I make damn good money doing this, although dairies that only sell milk specifically and have not branched out into other grocery items don't do that well.😛
 
Didn't even know you could get your milk delivered anymore

How much more expensive is it than the store-boughten stuff?
 
I wish I could have at least gotten some milk delivered when the milk man came by 6 years ago.......

Instead I got a 5yr old!:Q


Or maybe it was the mailman!
 
Don't blow a gasket but the company I work for gets 2.35 for a half-gallon of whole milk, but like I said it really tastes a world different then store bought. Our milk is processed and sold the same day.

You'd be surprised how many people buy their milk and bread this way, lots of people with money to spare.

I make 13% of the 120 customer per day route, and there is a ten dollar minimum purchase, which is very, very good money when you also factor in tips and my employee benefits, which include but are not limited to Blue Cross and Delta Dental. I love this job!
 
I've been thinking about this for a long time...

What's the deal with delivering milk right to your doorstep? Why only milk, why not other dairy products as well? Or how about bread as well? To me, the idea of door-to-door milk-deliviries is extremely weird. Why not simply buy it at grocery-store while you buy rest of your food?
 
My parents do, two pints every day.
The milkman round our way does loads of things apart from milk; pop, bread, vegetables, some meats but we only get the milk.
It is more expensive than at the supermarket, but it is more convenient.

Sadly, I think the days of the milkman are numbered with major supermarkets providing internet shopping and home delivery nowadays.
 
Not any more, used to get it delivered everyday until about 8 months ago when I realised most of it was getting thrown out because a pint a day was too much. Just buy it from the shop now whenever I need it.

The company I work for delivers anything you can get at your local milkstore and then some stuff that you can't get there. We have over a hundred and fifty items we deliver right off of the truck. That is the key to their success, since there used to be 100 milk delivery companies in my area and now there are only five. You cannot just carry milk and juice or you won't do very well, you will do mediocre at best. Like I said, at this place I do very well.
