Who posts Time for $?

[Roz]

I noticed recently that Starbucks has removed most of their drink sizes & prices from their menus, just showing the middle priced drink.

Made me wonder, who posts the amount of time a customer receives for their money in a SS bay? On their Vacs?

I post the time/$ on both but wonder if customers really care...

 

[Main Street Carwash]

I just post start price for both. I have digital display timers on both as well, FWIW.

I'm a grumpy old guy who didnt have much $ most of my life. As a result I dont buy things if I dont know the price. Perhaps its a generational thing or cultural/demographic, but most of the people I've asked, and I think most of my customer base feels the same way.
(Remember, I'm the guy who can list a dozen businesses in town that are cash ONLY.)

I post both price and time.

I post both price and time on vacs and bays. The Led 7's verify both. No suprises to my customers.

I post all prices and times. It’s the law here and it’s the right thing! I also have digital displays on all timers

I don't post either price or time. I let the Dixmor advertise start-up. Posting time isn't required and almost no one around here does it.

I just post price. I find it works for me just fine. If a customer complains ( that is rare ) about not enough time, I add tokens from my pocket and re-start whatever equipment they are using. No big deal.

 

[Main Street Carwash]

I have probably been to every carwash within a 30 mile radius of where I live (dozens), and have never seen time given posted at any of them. Maybe it is because the prices are so low here in Texas....

I don't post time. Might have 2-3 people a year that ask.

I post time & price in increments of $1 ,$5, $10,$ 20.00 above the coin box. I'm $3.25 for 4 minutes in bay & $2.00 for 4 minutes on vacs.

I clearly post prices and times on all my wash bays ($2 for 3.5 minutes), vacuums ($1 for 2.5 minutes). Customers still ask me, but they appreciate it that the signage is there. No hidden surprises and no complaints.
