If I had a nickel...

Fill in the blank:

If I had a nickel every time a customer ______________________________. I would be rich.

If I had a nickel every time a customer dumped there household garbage at the car wash. I would be rich. I sometimes feel like I’m a transfer site for the dump.
 
If I had a nickel for every time a customer emptied out the contents of their cigar (I assume to roll a "blunt") onto my parking lot...
 
If I had a nickel every time I asked a customer to turn their music down. I would be rich.
 
-Do you work here? (as I sweep the lot, with logoed hat & shirt)
-Do you work here? (as I repair a piece of equipment, with logoed hat & shirt)
-Do you work here? (as I change a trash bag, with logoed hat & shirt)
-Does this bay work? (with bright orange cone in front of it)
-Does this bay work? (with no cone or obstruction in bay)
-Do you have change for a $20 bill?
-Do you have change for a $10 bill?
-Do you have change for a $5 bill?
-Do you have a change machine?
-Do you have quarters?
-Does the vacuum take tokens? (clearly labeled with "accepts quarters or tokens")
-I put $2 in the bay and it did not start. Me- You mean the one that states $6 to start?
-I put $1 in the vac and it did not come on. Me- you mean the one that states $2 to start
-I inserted my credit card but nothing is happening. Me- Did you make a wash selection? Them- I did not know I had to.
-I pulled in the bay but nothing happened. Me- you mean the one with the flashing "enter" sign; keep pulling forward.
-Your blow dryers do not work. Me- Did you select a wash that included the dryers?
-There is no high pressure. Me- because you are on low pressure pre-soak.
-There is no soap in the foam brush. Me- you have to select "foam brush" on the meter panel.
-I put a $5 bill in the changer and only got 4 quarters. Me- Those are $1 tokens, and you received five.

I could go on and on, but I think I should have about $10 million with the above. I could live off that!
 
Some of my customers get pi$$y at $3.50 but if I were at $6 I would see pitchforks and torches burning coming to my door.
 
Loop sensor in the floor, most likely in his case set up to cancel the time if vehicle movement is detected.
 
Double loops- one in center, one at entrance. Center cancels time when vehicle exits, entrance cancels time if another car pulls in the bay while timed up.
