Quentin Laundromat

It’s really hot in this particular laundromat and small. I’m not sure about the cost of washing machines, but it’s 25 cents for 6 minutes of drying. Overall, it’s a small and humid space to be in, I wanted to leave right away.

You would think by now the owner would fix some of the machines. The small laundry machine which is only $ 1.75, is good but the first one always gives me a problem, and some of the machines needs the latches fixed. I don’t have the strongest grip but seriously, but some oil or grease on the latches. The dryers are pretty good, but some just won’t close unless you slam the door hard!
I was pretty surprised that it wasn’t packed this morning, sometimes its hard to get a small machine since some house working mothers’ like to take over 5 washing machines at a time, and 5 – 8 dryers. Also, it looks like they same mothers all the time! With their annoying ass children climbing all over the place!
Plus, this place is small! Like not enough room sometimes to fold your laundry since they like to take the entire counter for themselves. I purposely like to stay by my dryer and fold my clothes on the laundry carts. If you take that much room on the counter, I’m gonna take my sweet time folding and keep my clothes on the dryer as well. Don’t fuck with me, I’m spiteful as fuck!
Just the fact that today it was empty and I had the counter to myself was like a dream! Come early, and get shit done! Come in the afternoon and you’ll expect hell!!!

So this is my neighborhood laundromat, and needless to say it leaves much to be desired. The washers are $ 1.75 for a «Double Loader» and then $ 3.50 for «The Triple,» like any laundromat they have their little coins-​for-​dollars machine, and the dryers run 8 min for every $.25.
There is also not a whole lot of space to maneuver the little carts with sogging laundry, but I guess it makes for an excellent impromptu bumper cars session.
I remember going with my buddy Liz to help her do her laundry (or really cheer from the sidelines), and I was so «wowed» by how much nicer/​cleaner/​cheaper her laundrymat was then mine!
This is probably something entirely else to ponder about…
Am I so deprived I get excited over a decent Laundromat?
Also one of the guys who works here, was pretty unhelpful; after I asked him if he could manage to change some of my quarters back into dollars, he explained that the machine could do it. Confused I walked over the change machine and stupidly wondered to myself «But how?» It was just enough time for him to run somewhere backstage and watch from the video cameras for me to leave. Adamant I stood there, feet shoulder width, arms crossed, and chin slightly bent down. Thinking to myself «Okay jerk, I can wait here, you have to come back eventually.» Unfortunately after about 2 min I realized that I needed to run to work so I wasn’t late and mouthed to the empty chair behind the counter «Hasta La Vista…»
Somehow despite all that I’d much rather do my own laundry then the thought of some poor soul pawing through my dirty laundry, which could in itself quite possibly be a biohazard.
