Title: Do you ever hire movers or labor to help you out?
Post by: Travis on January 25, 2015, 03:54:10 PM: Do you ever hire movers or labor to help you move storage units or sort through the merchandise? Why or why not? And how much do you usually pay them?

Post by: Stiltman1 on February 03, 2015, 11:41:06 AM: :96: I tried to help a friend with paying him to help but he either kept wanting the items or wasn't available when I needed him. So I find it is so much easier to work the locker by myself.
This way I don't have to ask are you sure you looked thru that paperwork really good and there isn't any gift cards or cash??? :96:

yeah I dont have my movers sort product, I handle that myself. It goes too slow otherwise and they dont know what they are looking at, plus the temptation to snag a peiece of jewelry is too high. I have multiple helpers I shoot work to part time so there is always someone to help.

Post by: truedaystar on February 11, 2015, 08:36:00 AM: I have hired help.. My biggest issue is them WANTING stuff and pocketing stuff.. Now I generally use my kid for some help, my issue there is he wants to Keep Stuff too.. Nice set of drums in a unit, totally his... My hired help, I will give them some stuff, Clothes for example, shoes... and then they take my time to see if they fit, etc... Oh well... I do 10$ an hour... Not a lot but it adds up..
