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.

 

[OurTown]

Left the vac hose on the ground.

 

[MEP001]

Vacuumed up a penny...

 

[DiamondWash]

Didn't follow the rules

 

[D3Dubs]

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...

 

[JGinther]

Conned me out of a quarter.

I find that in at least one bay every single day.

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!

Stop the presses!!! $6 start price....tell me more!

 

[DiamondWash]

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.

 

[OurTown]

I think you get 30 minutes for that start price.

 

[washnvac]

I think you get 30 minutes for that start price.

Correct- $6 for 30 minutes. price is per vehicle; double loops installed in bays to prevent 2 cars from washing.

 

[Earl Weiss]

Every time someone put 2 dimes and a nickel in a quarter slot. Oh, wait I do - still not rich.

 

[I.B. Washincars]

For every time I hear "I just spent $20" when I ask someone detailing to get out of the bay.

 

[OurTown]

double loops installed in bays to prevent 2 cars from washing.

What is a double loop?

 

[MEP001]

Loop sensor in the floor, most likely in his case set up to cancel the time if vehicle movement is detected.

 

[washnvac]

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.

 

[lilb93]

Just wondering how the loop system would work with motorcycles..
