WHAT IS...

... a change machine?

That is what someone asked me. I asked him "is this the first time you are doing laundry?" and he said in a thick Arabic accent "no, I used to go to the other laundromat but it's closed." I cocked my head to the right (I have been doing that a lot lately) and told him "it's most likely the same device you used in the other laundromat." He asked where is was and I pointed out to him "the same place where you left your laundry bag." I could tell he was confused. I left the counter area and approached him. He wasn't looking at the change machine. He was looking at the soap dispenser, which has a sign that states "Out of Order. Soap sold at the counter." I am going to assume he didn't know how to read. I go to him "No! That is the machine" while pointing at it. The moron continued to look at the soap dispenser. I was almost close to asking if he needed soap but his action said otherwise. He was going to put the money in the coin pockets. I stopped him, turned him to the side and told him "change machine." Really, I could have done that from the start but I wanted entertainment. Things have been too quiet lately.

Anyways, after 1o minuted of explaining to him how the bill goes into the machine, he found his way to the washer. By the way, I was impressed by the fact that he knew how to work it. Normally people who don't know how to use the change machine, don't know how to use the washer... let alone whipe their own ass most likely.... With that mental image being imprinted to your brain, I will continue to the next moron.

This one was yelling AT the washer to start up. At first I thought she was fighting with someone so I left the counter once again to go check out what is going on. I just saw someone standing in front of the washer in pajamas yelling "YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT! WORK!" I asked the lady if things were ok (maybe she just has tourettes) but she complained that the washer wasn't starting. I told her "you didn't close the door" and she argued that she did. I closed the door for her and said "no you didn't". I think she has tourettes.... Readers, tourettes is a serious thing and if your loved ones have it, take them to seek help.

I have a feeling a customer that isn't mine but the other laundromats will start a fight with me tomorrow. It's just a hunch. Yesterday she was complaining how we are too expensive. I didn't bother to explain to her the process which we use to make clothes fluffy and clean. I just handed her the ticket. She seemed to be a miserable person and her boyfriend (I assume) was just giving me an ugly stare. -sigh- Hopefully my hunch isn't true just like my predictions tend to not be true.
