Gmc Supermarket

Working at Gmc Supermarket in Anantapur means you are always on your feet moving things around. The store is at 75-2-91 and it gets pretty busy around five in the evening when everyone is finishing work. I spend a lot of time checking the labels and making sure the milk packets are pushed to the front of the cooler. The fluorescent lights hum in a way that you only notice when the shop is empty early in the morning. We have rows of steel racks that seem to get messy five minutes after I tidy them up because kids like to move the candy jars around. The tile floor has a few cracks near the entrance, but we just put a mat over it so nobody trips coming in from the street. Anantapur gets incredibly hot, so the air conditioning unit is always working overtime, and sometimes it leaks a little water on the floor near the rice bags. I have to keep an eye on the stock levels for the cooking oils and the big bags of flour because those run out faster than anything else. It isn't a massive place, but we pack a lot into the space we have. Dealing with the different people who come in keeps the day interesting, even if I am just scanning items and packing them into bags for hours. It’s a steady rhythm that makes the weeks go by faster than you’d think.
