the wall of milk
Posted in: General
In larger workplaces it seems that along with stationery some of the suppliers also stock biscuits (stale and disappointing), tea and coffee, milk, etc. The usual staples for keeping the worker bees relatively happy.
A few weeks ago a large stationery order arrived. And with it 72 cartons of long life milk.
72!
A long discussion ensued between the office manager and the supplier. “It’s just not our milk,” he said, in conclusion.
An agreement was reached to the effect that the 72 cartons would be removed by the supplier because, in actual fact, they were not ordered by us.
But yet they remain.
Stacked along a wall in reception.
Boxes of it.
A wall of milk.
(Maybe it’s art.)
Do you think they would notice if ah… there were 70 by the end of the week?
