Hi everyone:
I'm looking to replace our call service. This company we have is just awful. We're running very low on vacancies now and rarely rent (let alone, reserve) over the phone. I told them several times NOT to reserve or promise any units to callers. But it seems like it just bounces...

This guy! Uggh! Comes into the office because he doesn't know the code to unlock the doors to the building. I ask him his name, he is not in our system. I ask if he is here for a unit that is under his name or another name? His wife's name. OK... So I gently explain that I cannot give him that information....17th August 2019, 02:43 PM

... Your gate doesn't survive a nearby lightning strike! :-(
Looks like it fried the keypad, gate control board, remote receiver and something I haven't identified yet.
And it is always discovered late on Friday when the fencing company has left for the weekend. Grrr...
I have a service...17th August 2019, 09:04 AM
