% of Magnets Washed Off Cars That Are RETRIEVED?
- Thread starter Carl

Just curious what percentage you'd guess it is of the customers who retrieve their lost car magnets that your automatic carwash washes to the ground?

Won't work!! I have a few i find and leave them on the side of the shurvend and they won't take them.
Free = must be junk.
$$ = must be worth something. I gotta have it!!!
I'm liking this idea. Wash it off, put it in a ziploc baggie and price it. Could even get more $ if you used one of those food seal packages where it sucks all the air out to make it even more attractive.
Of course, how many people just happen to have a son named Tommy, #22, who plays soccer?

Magnets Retrieval Rate
Thanks for the responses, guys. Retrieval rate for us feels like < 4%. I've learned of some interesting maladies that I didn't know people could even have from reading names of "concern magnets" that have been washed off in our bays. And what's the deal w/ that yellow and blue magnet that makes like an E shape? or rectangle shape? I can't remember exactly how it looks to describe it well enough here, but someone told me it means "gay"? Whatever...LOL. There's a magnet for everything from Sarah Palin to Obama-worshipping in various designs and formats... - Carl

I think the original support magnets donated $1 to go towards the troops and then the chinese flooded the US with copycats that just donate towards the chinese.
My favorite magnets

Save the Tatas on a pink ribbon.

For awhile I stuck them to my steel ER door hoping customers would take them, but I found it promoted rust so now they go directly in the trash. Same things with floormats left at the vacs unless they look fairly new. I used to set them aside in the ER but nobody ever comes looking for them.
I did nearly give one guy a heart attack when he forgot his peanut can half full of quarters on the meterbox and they were waiting for him in the ER when he came back a few hours later. He couldn't understand why a "quarters business" wouldn't just confiscate them.
