“Hey buddy, MILK!!!” — by Steve Nadis

I accidentally dropped a gallon of milk in front of the 7-11 in Central Square. I then had to walk nearly a half mile over icy, puddle-strewn streets, carrying a split-open milk container far off to my side to keep from getting covered with milk. I suppose I didn’t have to do that; I could have just thrown the breached container out and been done with it. But had I thrown it out, which is something a normal person would have done, I would not have heard something I’d never heard before in my life, called out to me by a homeless guy standing in front of the store: “Hey buddy, MILK!!!”

  1. Did you give him the milk? Even though it was broken? Isn’t 7-11 more expensive than the grocery stores? Aren’t those robbed more frequently?

    So many questions, so few answers. I can tell you, though, that this guy was not interested in milk. Also the milk at 7-11 is cheapest. As for robberies, so far I’ve been lucky.

    Atleast he didn’t give you a wise-ass remark like,
    “Hey buddy, GoT MILK?!!”, with a sneer. ;)

    True MP, that would have been worse. Possibly a low point.
