It’s Cool Being A MilkMan.

It’s cool being a Milkman. Now I know that these days that’s not the benchmark for coolness, but in my world its pretty cool. It gives me the opportunity to support a local business-South Mountain Creamery; be the master of my domain as it were; and interact with my fellow marylanders. In this day of instant access to virtually anything from news to music to movies, we are becoming more and more disconnected from each other. Think about it, we are constantly text messaging each other, have a blue tooth or ear buds fused to our ears or are surfing the net for the latest news on Britney. One Word on her: OY!
Being a Milkman for Hey,Milkman! allows me to interact with people I may never have had a chance to meet. Now while our interaction maybe be brief, I still enjoy the time spent with you guys. Whether its talking about Mayor Dixon or how the kids are doing, that little time spent relating to one another only enriches the customers experience with Hey,Milkman! When I first was thinking about doing this, I knew the product end was taken care of. The milk and other products from SMC are first rate and thus would sell themselves. The hard part was trying to convince people that hopping on board the Hey,Milkman! train was worthwhile. There are those now who are waiting to see if it’s worthwhile. If you try it I think you’ll see that it is. I may not do everything right. But I do know that heaven forbid if anything does go wrong, Hey,Milkman! will always do the right thing. After all we are, “REAL NICE DAIRY HUN!”
Glad to see that milkmen are still out there! I’ve been delivering milk for 4 years now and have come to LOVE my work so much! You’re absolutely right about the human interaction, it makes the day go by quick and leaves you with a smile. ( well…most of the time. haha!)
