I have a small storage unit at a local suburban self storage facility.
Often when I go there I'm the only customer there, and I've never seen more than 3 other customers present at the same time.
The office is almost continuously manned during business hours (+ weekends), but hardly anyone goes in there. Even when I go to grab stuff from my unit I don't go into the office or talk with the staff - I just pick-up/dump-off my stuff and go.
The guys that work there must have some sort of side project/hobby to prevent them from going insane.
- marincounty 11y agoIt's the perfect enviornment to program, read, repair watches, do homework, art, etc. The units are always filled, so you just sit there. I got through college working for a storage facilities. I got all my homework done there. There were times I felt like I was about to loose it though. I had a bad panic attack at a facility in Daily city one Sunday. It weird how being isolated can play with the mind. Even for someone as myself, who is not a people person. You basically sit in a room, and make a run around the facility every hour, or so. If an owner has you doing busy work--leave the job. The wage is not livable, so you should be free to presue your hobbies. To renters, don't keep your stuff there more than a couple of months. I saw people loose so much money I over junk. If renting, get the manager to get your rental date on the first/last day of the month. The owners make so much money off late fees. I don't think I've ever heard of a owner losing money on a mini-storage.
