For four years, I'd rented a space at the Public Storage on Hempstead Turnpike in Bethpage. The one…read morewith the lighthouse out front. I was happy with that place, and was sorry to leave when the rent reached a point where it no longer made sense to keep paying so much for a unit I could find somewhere else for less. That was a couple of years ago, and I'm once again looking for a storage space. The best deal I'd found online was at this other location, right by the train tracks in Hicksville. So I made a reservation online, chose my move in date, received confirmation by text, email, and voicemail. Everything was good to go, until I showed up with my tape measure in hand to check out the space. When I walked in, I waved hello to the guy behind the counter and said I was interested in renting a storage unit. He was not exactly friendly. "Do you have a reservation?" Without looking up from his computer. "Yes." "At this location?" Still not even looking at me. "Yes, but before we do that, can I ask a question?" No response, so I continued. "What's the easiest way to turn left into this parking lot? See, where that white car is now, coming from that direction?" (Old Country Road is busy, and there is a turning lane after the entrance, which puts you onto a narrow kind of alley, running between the building and the elevated LIRR tracks. While waiting to turn, you are facing cars in the oncoming turning lane. Then you go to the back of the lot, make a u-turn and come back, make a right and then another into the lot. It didn't seem ideal for making multiple trips with a van, and I wondered if this employee might have a helpful suggestion.) Wrong. "How long have you had a license?" Seriously, that was his response. Not said in a joking or playful way, but with contempt. When a customer asks a question, it is an opportunity to engage in conversation and make the sale, or just establish a friendly rapport. This guy didn't seem interested in any of those things. In fact, he seemed annoyed that I was standing there. So I smiled and said, "Thank you," and turned to leave. I figured I'd come back another day when there was a different employee working who might be more pleasant. Then I turned back. "What is your name?" "You don't have a reservation." Spoken as an accusation. "Yes, I do." I did, and would gladly have given him my reservation number, or my name, or my phone number, or whatever information he needed to help him find it, except he never asked. "You don't have a reservation. There is nothing on the board." I'm not sure what that meant, but it implied that I was lying. What was puzzling was that, even if a customer didn't have a reservation, shouldn't his response have been, "No problem, I'll be happy to help?" Isn't his job to provide customer service, with the goal of renting out a space? Also, there is a difference between, "You don't have a reservation," and "I'm sorry, I can't seem to find your reservation." One of those sentences blames the customer, the other admits the possibility that the mistake could be his. Again, I smiled and said, "Thank you," and left. It felt like his antipathy was personal. Acute. Focused specially on me, for whatever reason. At first. Then I heard from the two guys at a nearby storage company that they routinely hear complaints about him from customers who came from that place, to theirs. As I did. So perhaps it is just his manner, and he treats everyone with the same rudeness. To paraphrase Freud, sometimes a cigar is just a dick. About an hour later, the same salesman who left a voice message confirming my reservation called again to follow up on... my reservation. Which I clearly did have, or he would not have called. Twice. "Glad you called. Let me tell you what happened when I went there in person." After hearing a condensed version of the above, he said, "Well, he said that you were rude to him!" "Of course he did. Because I asked his name, so he knew I was going to complain and figured he'd get there first." By the way, Public Storage telephone salesman, "Our guy said you were the one who was rude," is not exactly sterling customer service, either. The proper response should have been, "We apologize for any rudeness you may have encountered from one of our employees." The point which ended the phone call was this: I'd made the reservation, scheduled the move in date, and was prepared to book the storage space. It was practically a done deal. Until that rude guy cost them the sale, and lost them a customer.

He welcomed us warmly, had this very cool and reassuring way about him possessing a quiet confidence and great listening skills as he assessed our needs and was spot on in recommending and efficiently calculating the perfectly sized spaces to accommodate everything. He was very thorough and got us better rates than storage facilities in Glen Head and Syosset. What we received- 15 hour daily access to a clean, easy to enter, convenient, well lighted and well organized, safe facility with carts always available and ample parking spots. An app that is great and updated so we can open gates and doors using our cell phone as well as making payments in seconds. Above all, peace of mind! Thank you awesome Payton and Public Storage for taking care of us and picking up the phone when we do need to speak with someone at the facility and are 8100 miles away. You have made our family's life so much easier and stress free and the move and storage process a breeze and actually fun.

The two movers arrived exactly at the scheduled time listed in my agreement. They were friendly, professional, highly skilled, and incredibly efficient. I unexpectedly needed a few additional items boxed on moving day, and they handled everything without hesitation. Every item was packed and transported with great care. Nothing was broken, damaged, or missing. The move into my new space was just as smooth as the move out of my old one. They carefully followed all of the building's rules for elevator use, placed furniture exactly where I requested, and neatly stacked boxes in the appropriate rooms. What impressed me most was their professionalism and attention to detail. They communicated clearly throughout the process, regularly checked to make sure I didn't have any questions, and truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was done right. Before leaving, they removed all of the packing materials they had used and left both my old and new homes clean and tidy. The entire move stayed on schedule and was remarkably efficient. I honestly could not have been happier with how smoothly everything went. The two movers assigned to my move were truly exceptional--kind, courteous, hardworking, and diligent professionals who clearly take great pride in their work. Please extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation to both of them. They made what could have been a stressful day remarkably easy, and I hope they know how much I appreciated their professionalism, care, and dedication. They are wonderful representatives of your company. Thank you for such an outstanding moving experience. I will absolutely use your services again for any future moves and will gladly recommend your company to friends, family, and colleagues.
