My dumpster is locked, but any bum with half a brain knows that you can pry those plastic lids open even with the locking bar in place. Keeps the really dumb ones out, though. I'm also having locking lids with small openings built for my trash cans. Mainly to keep the hyenas from treasure...

Agreed. I'm new to this business, but did a lot of homework before buying a 7 bay SS that needed renovation. The previous owner ran it well until health problems crept in, but his wash traffic was still very strong when I bought it. I'm bracketed by EE's less than a mile on either side of me...

I'll double check but I believe these have already been converted.

Their sales rep has been bugging me to order cards, says all the bugs are worked out and everything is working flawlessly. I told her she may want to do some Googling to see what the industry is saying about their cards

Thanks, Randy - can you shoot me his contact info?

Thank you sir. I have the long brush and used it on Tuesday, also pulled a small piece of paper out of the chain track and thought that might be the problem. Made sure there was no more paper and cleaned it again, but the problem continues. These machines are old, and the previous owner said...

Rowe BC1400 bill changers at the 7 bay SS that I've been renovating have been running smoothly since I bought the wash 3 months ago, but recently the hoppers in one unit are feeding coins at an uneven rate, causing it to drop out of service when one hopper empties out. I've emptied the hoppers...

An update: I finally turned off the water in my wringer sink (aka Homeless Laundromat). A couple of customers have asked why and I explained it to them. This morning I watched a guy on video drive into the wash, past my wash bays, and pull in next to the wringer sink. He got out his towels...

Will Coinless integrate with Cryptopay or does it have its own credit card system?

Good point, mine is currently running about 10% of vac income

San Antonio TX - 100 to 105 for the last month, and probably the next

Bummed to hear this. I was about to place an order for cards. Might wait until they work out the bugs.

Exactly, I wouldn't be waging war on them if they hadn't crossed the line with me. A few weeks back they unscrewed my vac service panel and wired an extension cord into it so they could run a fan at night in the alley where they were camping. Give them points for ingenuity, but stealing my...

That's the direction I'm leaning. Seems like the more I cater, the more they abuse.

I also thought about just taking out the faucet and leaving the wringer and sink. Let people still dry their chamois but take away the free homeless bath. Did the bums leave the vacs alone once you locked them or do they still try to pry in?

The 7 bay SS that I'm renovating has two towel wringer sinks in the vac/detail area of the wash. It appears that a few customers use them, but mostly they are a magnet for the homeless to bathe and wash their clothes after they've finished treasure hunting in my trash cans, and sifting through...

...and acid washed jeans

Thanks, I’ll try the bleach

Any brand/model recommendations? I’m looking for a fully contained unit that can be wall or pedestal mounted.

No, the main wall are actually tile block with a dull finish (more porous) and they are in the worst shape. There's an accent band of yellow/black glossy tiles and they've held up pretty well. Coating still intact. Honestly, I'm not sure these walls have ever been acid washed prior to my attempts.
