Problem of Doodhwala

Dear Members
It is noticed that we are slowly and steadily becoming slaves of those people from whom we are supposed get services that can make our life easy.

The mother of all problems begins in the morning itself. The doodhwala is perennially late.

Though the Amul vehicle delivers milk at 3.45 AM, the two VIP's reaches LH gate at 8 AM and doesn't finish delivery even when people begin to make their way to office.

To bring competition in service, LAAC tried to introduce some more guys into the apartment but these two people threatened them with dire consequences if they enter LH premises. They claim they have paid Rs 25000 to get entry into La Habitat. They are not revealing to whom they have paid this amount year back.

And this morning it was noticed that milk pouches that dogs dragged with their feet and teeth were kept back and delivered. Some of you may have got this particular pouch and this type of behavior is unacceptable.

Many of you may not know that these two guys are employees of Pacifica Office located at Satellite Road. Though we don't have the latest update, they used to be the Office Boys of Pacifica office and we believe they still are.

Sanjil, how can you tolerate these two guys at the office when none of the members have the patience to tolerate them just for five minutes?

The other problems are of Dhobis, domestic servants, car wash agents, newspaper boy which we can come to at a later stage.

The best part to solve this problem is to create a Co-operative run by members to deliver milk and other convenient items. Amul is willing to part with a deep freezer free of charge and any one would be ready to work with the salary out of the profit that gets generated from distributing milk.

Question is who will bell the cat? If you have any other ideas, please share. Please don't share the experience with the doodhwala as every one knows it is not pleasant.

Guys Please,
What do the peons of Pacifica do outside their work time is totally none of Pacifica’s interest. Please treat them as any other milkman & if you do not want their services, discontinue. It is totally not required to use the name Pacifica here.
