Coin Less Laundry

As a full-​time traveler I’ve been to laundromats around the entire U.S. I’ve seen some that are so good you’re actually happy you did laundry, and some so horrendous you’d rather keep wearing your dirty underwear. This laundromat is somewhere in the middle.
Sure, it’s relatively clean and they have shiny nice new machines, but the big catch here is the whole «coinless» approach to laundry day. Yes, it sounds really convenient, especially if you’re someone who doesn’t carry cash except for laundry day. But you are paying through the nose for the convenience.
For starters, the dryers are preset to 30 minutes for $ 1.09 (I’m waiting to find out if my stuff will actually dry in 30, I’m highly doubtful). Next, the prices higher than most places. And finally, you can only add a minimum of $ 5 at a time to your wash card. Yes, you can add money to your card by paying with cash, but ONLY WHOLE DOLLARS. The machines do not take coins. That means that if some of my things are not dry in 30 minutes and I need to keep them in just a bit longer, I can’t put $ 1.09 on my card and I’m forced to put $ 2.00 in the machines. Can you say «Highway robbery»?
Don’t be fooled by the convenience factor, this is as much of a rip-​off as any payday lender or rent-​to-​own furniture store. Drive the extra few minutes across town and pay with good old cash. I feel like a total idiot for coming here.

I go to this business weekly. I’ve never had to ask for help from the attendant, so I can’t comment on the other reviewer’s experience. I’ve never had a problem with the machines and I like that I don’t need quarters or small bills to do laundry here.

This is my third time visiting this place same time. The place was very clean I even had a problem which was taken care of promptly. However the attendant is rude and very un approachable she appears to be very bothered by customer’s entering and asking for help she never smiles nor did she so much as great anyone coming in the business as she stood there with a unwelcoming Stance
