Alpha Containers

If you go to Jash Market on Ring Road, we are at No. 1. It is a crowded spot. You can hear the horns from the Ring Road all day long. Alpha Containers is basically just stacks and stacks of things. We have boxes, crates, and all sorts of packaging materials piled up. Sometimes it feels like a maze in here. We have to move three things just to get to one thing at the back. It keeps us moving, I guess. We see a lot of different people coming through the market. Some just want one or two items, others want a whole truckload. We handle it all the same way. We grab a tally sheet and start counting. The air is always a bit dusty because of all the cardboard. We have a small fan that wobbles a lot but it keeps the air moving. Lunch is usually brought from home and eaten quickly between customers. We don't have any flashy displays. What you see is what you get. The walls could use a fresh coat of paint, but we are too busy moving stock to worry about that. It is a simple business. We get containers in, we sort them out, and we sell them to whoever needs to move their own goods. It’s a lot of lifting and shifting. By the end of the day, our backs usually ache a bit.
