I have shared/coin laundry in my building, but I prefer loading up my car and doing my washing here for several reasons. First and foremost it is exceptionally clean here and the employees are continually mopping up and wiping down to make sure it stays that way. It’s not too expensive, they have free wifi, it’s easy to change bills for quarters, there are several big folding tables, they have an old school Ms Pac Man/Galaga arcade machine, and the staff are friendly and helpful(when it’s quiet they’ll even turn down the blaring TVs if you ask nicely). Cons? The dryers are not great at catching lint/hair(complains the cat lady with long blonde locks), the aforementioned blaring TVs, and the overpowering florescent lighting. Admittedly the last two are plusses for some people. And it can get very busy. I try to roll in on off hours, but I was here on a Monday night recently when it was packed and people were pretty selfish about the folding tables… using them as desks to work on their laptops/tablets. I asked one of these guys if I could use the table for, you know, folding and he grudgingly surrendered half.(They’re called laptops, buddy!) This is more a beef with humanity than management, but it would be nice if they put up a sign or something. Did I mention they have a fresh popping popcorn machine? How can you argue with that?!

I have no idea why we always end up here. It is always crowded. Inevitably, there will be several washers and dryers out of order. Someone will let their kids drink concentrated sugar and then run amuck through the place like chattering, sticky, snot-covered little chipmunks on crack. There will be at least one person washing something that shouldn’t go in a washer(a carpet, a llama, a nuclear reactor) who gets all pissed off when the washing machine starts smoking and clanking. People who would normally be perfectly polite will turn into snarling hyenas when the last available dryer gets snagged by the bimbo in yoga pants who will put in enough change to run the thing for ten minutes and then leave to get dinner with her meathead boyfriend. But, there’s free wi-fi, burnt coffee, and stale popcorn and the staff is pretty patient and reasonably reactive to pleas for help. There are tanning beds on the other side but I’ve never felt the need to be irradiated while my dirty underwear are getting un-dirty.
