When your store is closing... you bring home 38 bags of milk to distribute through your neighbourhood..... 152 Litres of milk that went to those in need and not the trash! (i.redd.it)

I’ve literally never seen milk in a bag... but 38 bags? I’m overwhelmed

I've seen it in Honduras and I know Canada does too.

How do you use bagged milk while working? Do you pour them in a container??
MommaOfThree6767 [OP] 23 points 3y ago
You use one of these to hold them $1
Pomitlicious 17 points 3y ago
Omg it’s so strange to see how foreign bagged milk is to Americans when it’s all we know in Canada!

30 year old Canadian here, bever ever have I seen this.
Pomitlicious 1 points 3y ago
Very interesting! Which province if you’re comfortable sharing?
furrytractor_ 15 points 3y ago
you slap it like a bag of wine and then pull the plug
Tara_Kitten 15 points 3y ago
What country/state do you work that milk is bagged?

Canada... the provinces of Ontario and Quebec have bagged milk.. It threw me off too when I first moved here from British Columbia.. My store can easily go through that much milk in 3 days...
Dawizba 7 points 3y ago
I'm honestly surprised that would last any store 3 days

OP is (probably) from Quebec since it's Quebon brand milk. But it's mostly Eastern Canada that has bagged milk (generally speaking)
MaciMusings 1 points 3y ago
Could be from Ottawa / Eastern ON, we use the same brand of milk in the region.
yyz_barista 2 points 3y ago
Y'all use Quebon in Ottawa? 😮 I've only seen it when I'm in Montreal / Quebec City, etc. I guess that makes sense since it's all distributed from the same warehouse.
We're Neilson out in Toronto.

The Ottawa regional distribution is done through GFS Boucherville (south shore Montreal), so yes, exactly that.

The middle school and high school I went to had bagged milk for the students. Ahhh, the good ol’ days

As an ignorant American I will never understand bagged milk BUT good for you for giving all of that to your neighbors!!

Bagged milk 😯🤔
Simplyroro 4 points 3y ago
I'm trying to picture my stores daily use , 25 gals of whole milk and 60 gals of % .... what would this look like 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴😳😳😳😭😭😭
yyz_barista 2 points 3y ago
It's 4 bags to a crate, each bag is slightly more than 1 gallon.
valucianos 1 points 3y ago
I would be so scared one of those would break in my car 🙃🙃
MommaOfThree6767 [OP] 2 points 3y ago
They are pretty hardy!
valucianos 2 points 3y ago
Thats good to know if I ever grocery shop in Canada! Also it’s amazing what you did 💕💕💕
MommaOfThree6767 [OP] 2 points 3y ago
I couldn’t let it go to waste... I know there are lots of families in need near me and due to the hoarding.... it’s hard to get basics
valucianos 1 points 3y ago
Indeed it is. It’s awesome to see people helping each other
spicypotatogurl 1 points 3y ago
Huh... interesting
amcc04 1 points 3y ago
this makes me uncomfy. I’d be scared to hold it
MommaOfThree6767 [OP] 1 points 3y ago
Scared of what?
amcc04 1 points 3y ago
spilling it. dropping it. how it feels
MommaOfThree6767 [OP] 1 points 3y ago
It’s not that bad.... you get used to it... I grew up with jugs of milk so it was strange when I first moved here....
Even with wet hands it’s not that bag holding them

is it forever closed? or just until virus is better
MommaOfThree6767 [OP] 1 points 3y ago
Just for the course of the virus... we are a busy store!
Rainschach 1 points 3y ago
Same thing happened to us today
yyz_barista 1 points 3y ago
Bonjour from Ontario! Stay healthy!
MommaOfThree6767 [OP] 1 points 3y ago
Where are you? I’m Ottawa :)
yyz_barista 1 points 3y ago
Toronto, so I've been learning about the nuances about GFS deliveries in Ottawa from another barista!
