This was me last week. 70 gallons at Walmart. Someone asked what it was for and I said I just had a lot of cats.

My favorite comment was from the ancient woman waiting in line at the register ahead of me: “It’d be simpler to just buy the whole cow!”

did this at grocery outlet once and they told me not to come back

You shouldn't be wearing your apron if you leave to go buy milk.

Bro I am not wearing an apron out in public

I love doing milk runs due to my attitude of it, I walk into Walmart and make a straight line to the milk, grab 30-50 gallons and walk away without a word, people stare and move out of the way. Anytime someone asks what I'm doing I just say "The people need this."

“My significant other has a really crazy fetish” thats always my go-to. Usually leave people surprised and they just don’t ask questions anymore when I go to Target.

If this is a regular occurrence I would load one on the belt and just tell them how many you have most cashier can put in a number then scan once or at the very least scan the single milk a bunch of times, saving you from all that lifting

Do you not get milk delivered to your store? That’s a lot of milk

Why don’t you leave them in the kart?

You wear your apron on milk runs? i work in a grocery store bux and a lot of people ask me questions on general grocery store stuff bc they know I work here lol.

I would just say you work for a coffee shop tho. Who cares if they judge. Cashiers shouldn't really be judging anyone. If we have little products then the store puts a limit on how much we could buy anyway (which happened to milk once).

OP you are a math problem 😂😂

Like ‘Carlos goes to the store and buys 70 gallons of milk for $1.50 each. How much does Carlos spend?’

Why tf you put them all on the belt just the cashier how much you got

*shouldn't wear apron outside workplace for sanitary reasons

A lady asked me if I was taking a milk bath when I went last week.


Then I accidentally left a gallon in my trunk and discovered it five days later. 😭

Id never wear my apron in public lol

Jeezus. I've had to.do emergency milk runs for my store, but usually no more than a few gallons. Maybe 3-5 max. Did you guys run out literally the day after your order came?

Luckily for our store, we're right inside a grocery store. Not like a Tarbucks, but our own small cafe, adjoining the grocery store. We have a gate to separate us from them at closing time. But it makes emergency supply runs super easy.

I about to ask my manager if they want me to go to the store to buy honey

I got lucky I only had to get 10 I can’t imagine getting 70! But a worker from Walmart came up and was like you know you can just grab a pallet from the back. I’m like no dude I don’t know I could go in the back😂

U can’t wear ur apron outside anyway.

Did a milk run last week and honestly I don’t mind it. It’s like a small break where for me 😭 ofc I don’t actually take a break, but when I’m on a long shift it’s like refreshing LOL

Your bones would be fucking strong if you drank that all lol.

last time i had to go for a milk run the register person and i were joking about how i look like the crazy people in math questions
“if luna is buying 35 2% milk and 15 whole milks does she need to be sent to the psych ward?”

I wanted to yell at the old lady who stopped me at Walmart’s SCO (One woman literally took my order away from me during checkout) and another was like “I just have to be nosy!” And it pissed me off enough and if I had the courage to yell “Don’t judge my milk kink” I would have.

“i have a lot of kids”

Last time I did a milk run and had two carts full of milk two older ladies asked what all that milk was for and I calmly and seriously responded that i bathe in milk once a month. The look on their faces was everything 🤣🤣

I had to do this around Christmas time and I hated how so many people stared at me. These old ladies noticed and was like “Golly He’s thirsty.” And I’m like yep. Just felt like coming to to store to buy 30 gallons of milk and nothing else. I ran into a lady at check out who worked at Taco Bell and she was telling me how she would have to buy 30 heads of lettuce and would get weird stares. And then nobody bothered to tell me the company card pin and had to use my personal card so I can get the hell out of there. It also took an hour of standing in line because it was busy and ran into people that knew me and more weird stares o_O

we’re supposed to wear our apron..? 🥲

Winco is the shit

You wear your apron when you do the walk of shame?? I just drag the two carts behind me and take all the cereal jokes w my head held high and try to not get banned from Walmart

Aldi is right next to us and I had to do this the other day and I hate it here

Can’t you just tell the cashier how many you have and they can scan the one then multiply it…?

Y'all's Walmart still got milk?? We've had to go so many times and we wipe them out that they stopped allowing us to buy it 🥲

so glad my store is so small, when i did my milk run for my store today i only had to grab 5 2%s and 5 wholes. XD

Glad we aren’t the only store running out. We’ve ran out every single day it’s fucked

“I’m thirsty.”

omg ur supposed to wear ur apron?

Honestly it's best if you don't wear your apron. People are starting to vocally express there anger with us for buying up all the milk. At least in my area. It's getting bad. We've started to just instacart it.

I would’ve said to people asking about it that “I like to bathe in it”

You look like the insane math problems we talked about in school

I have done a milk run once. And every day I regret not telling the person on register that it was for my bathtub

So the product will you uphold however many products going to uphold that the minute you get this deal on GPS and then that's how you start to make your money right.

lmaooo did this at a Vons the other day. Lady asked and i said i was giving it back to the cows cuz i’m with PITA 🤣

Whenever I have to buy an insane amount of juices or fruit I always get looks from people behind me, not even the cashiers. But I wear my restaurant’s sweatshirt so I hope they put the two together. I’m glad it’s not only me

I wear a beanie literally everyday and at work, but I keep my starbies cap in the car just in case I need to get milk on my way in

This was me on Friday, 40 2%, 20 Heavy Creams, 15 half and half’s, 2 non fats, and 10 whole milks.. I had to go to 2 different Walmart’s and still didn’t get everything we needed. It’s rough out there

Do the stores ever hesitate to sell so much to one person? Does the store care if the get wiped out of all their 2%?

Why did you put all of them up there loool? If you knew how many, you could probably ask them to just input that many onto the register! That's what i've done lately for our milk runs, which has been a lot lately.

Oh my god, same thing happened with me i had to explain to the cashier i worked at the sbux next door lmao

I met a dude who worked at starbuck he forgot his apron he and i were buying lots of milk i don't work at a place that needs milk i just like chocolate milk

Did you get marked out if 2%?

Holy shit

And people don't understand why I'm slow and super cautious... Well, it's for 4 reasons:

1. I'm new
2. I don't want to get injured
3. I don't want product to get ruined or damaged
4. I also want to make sure your drink is right, so don't rush me.

These posts always confuse me...who's doing y'all's orders?!

Is this normal, or because your store ran out? It seems really uncool to take all the milk off the shelves for families because a corporation can't find a better way to source milk. I see this a lot, just curious :)
