Metro Cash Carry India Pvt. Ltd.

This branch is over in the Industrial Suburbs of Subramanyanagar, specifically at Survey No. 26/3. It is a massive space, and you can really feel the scale of it when you walk through the aisles early in the morning. The concrete floors are always being swept, but there’s a constant movement of forklifts and pallet jacks that keeps things busy. In the A Block, Ward No. 9, we spend a lot of time checking labels and making sure the stacks are straight. It’s a loud environment with the sound of metal shutters rolling up and trucks backing into the loading docks. We wear sturdy shoes because we are on our feet all day walking from one end of the warehouse to the other. The air is always a bit cooler near the back where the heavy storage is. It’s not like a regular shop where you just browse; it’s more about the bulk and the heavy lifting. We have a small break room where the coffee is usually too strong, but we drink it anyway to stay alert. The traffic on the roads leading into the industrial area can be a nightmare in the evenings, but inside, we just keep to our schedules. Managing all that inventory takes a lot of counting and double-checking, and sometimes the scanners act up when you’re in a hurry. It’s a tough, practical place to work.
