Today was my least favorite job day at the wash. Clean out the VACS. Gotta say, the job isn't as bad now that I've been at $2 for 6 minutes on my 8 vacs for a few months. Vac income is up. No real complaints, just an occasional comment, typically I add the 2nd dollar when someone mentions it and then I explain, they now get 6 minutes....plenty of time to vac. I did see one guy get all ready to vac, then drove off when he saw the $2 start. Even with the occasional drive off, my income stays on the rise, and less wear and tear. Most customers make use of the full 6 minutes....I do notice every now and then, a customer finishes with time still remaining.
It was hard to make the move, but then I figured, my vac use could drop in half, and my income would stay the same. My vac use has NOT dropped any noticeable amount.
