    Complimentary Towel Dry Station

    dogwasher & others, I don't know if how pertinent this is ... but I did have a customer dry their car with one of our vended microfiber towels after not rinsing the Warsaw Vanilla Kote Wax off. It plugged up the absorbency of the microfiber. I am not sure if that would have a similar effect...

    Video: 82 year old plunges from Car Wash into River

    Diana, Thanks This was more informative than the Professional Car Washing e-link. Having saved someone from drowning once I could relate to the woman being more concerned about her possessions than her life. That also could have put the rescuers at risk depending on how deep the water was. mike

    High mpg cars

    Mac, Vehicles set up for natural gas may be a consideration. Long term outlook for cost benefits for using NG in vehicles is looking better & better. Just think. Being able to fill up at home & not at gas stations who may or may not have car washes could be a good thing. Since this is an...

    Insecticide Used Around The Carwash

    I stand behind my caulking suggestion based on a vivid memory of an unbelievable citywide cricket infestation that we had some years ago. I clearly remember the Pest Control Experts caulking as part of their more complete solution ... for the entire strip mall building lower exterior across the...

    Section 8 Property

    Our Founding Fathers Swampdonkey & others, I am of that mindset too for the most part ... there are so many unintended consequences when the government tries too much to create development. The best development tends to occur just by the fact that people need a specific service or property &...

    Removing Lead push-pin anchors

    Copperglobe, Center punch dead center of the pin. Then use sharp bit to drill out the pin. The outer part will almost fall out then. A sharp chisel & is a time saver but also effective used sideways ... if you don't need to be concerned about damaging a surface. A vice grip can be used for...

    accepting tokens only?

    Nooo nooo nooo! Much too heavy to get enough of them to be able to save enough net income to be able to afford & reinvest to get a better more fail safe alarm system-camera-cell phone combination.:) Not to mention the worthwhile "on call" help expense! I personally think that Bill Pitzer's...

    accepting tokens only?

    That is understandable. If the equivalent 4 quarters or the equivalent one dollar bills are made much more available & people are not charged extra for them ... it makes sense why the dollar coins are possibly not popular in some areas ... especially the quarter look alike Susan Bs. I...

    Accounting Questions

    It seems like the different approaches have their strengths & weaknesses. For us ... MS Access plays a role. It is more structured to prevent entry errors than Excel. In our case we invested the time to interconnect our coin counter & Standard ChangeMakers ... so running databases with precise...

    SUA July 2012 PC&D

    Earl, Robert & others, I agree. What makes an extra tough reality is when the more powerful whoever won't listen to reason. My dear dad used to say "the bigger they are ... the harder they fall" which is one way of looking at it. mike walsh king koin of bismarck

    Replacing Drop Shelf Vending.

    Placement consideration cell, From experience ... since we put our bill acceptors in the bays we have fewer people going to a "bills to dollar coins" changemaker next to our 52+ glass front selection MegaVendor. It does have a bearing on the number of impulse items & even towels sold. Jim...
