So, I signed up for a laundry service....It was careful not to display any pricing, but
I've read that others charge three-dollars a pound.
It makes you wonder...couldn't I just keep buying clothes on amazon instead?
This is definitely a TBA entry.
I am of the unspoken opinion that a credit-card by itself won't do, they'll want a cash bonus.
Maybe.
Ya know, they didn't say very much.
Where are they?
Do people contract to help pay for their maytags in their garage, or maybe they work for a hospital and moonlight the washers, or is it an actual place?
Or is it a laundromat with a fancy name.
Is it like "Carshield", a network of businesses, or is it private parties?
O well. Once a year (or so) doesn't sound too horrible.
My laundry isn't worth $3 a pound, I don't think.
A fee, another fee...uhm, another fee...
OK OK 2.5/lb+10+5 is (what) OK I don't do algebra.
(Fock) I'm gonna seriously guess, $152.5

Playing solitaire and its kin makes a person's mind wander.
OK the wife of the preacher's assistant who refused to lend out her washer's services when our washer broke...They were a cut above, in a different world, and the poor you'll always have with you.
The time I was 12 and worked in a hospital-laundry on weekends.
They were so proud of their asbestos-insulation on the water heater, if that'll give you any time-frame-of-reference.
The guy who kept laundry separate from his family's laundry, buying the cheapest shit washer/dryer set to boot, (This one takes too long to explain)
Do rich people buy the shittiest washers for everyone else to use?
Rich people do.
NOW it falls unto me to pick a laundry service hopefully not run by rich people, who employ kids and use crappy washers from when *I* was a kid...
They say right on their page they contract out...I don't know what that means, do customers gamble their clothes on (maybe) decent washers, or is it all a shitty laundromat scam.

This next bit has little to do with laundry and everything to do with buying unaffordable stuff on amazon.
They let you choose the split-payment option, great, but the split-payments are charged to your bank-account automatically, and some of the payments are before the date (eg, the 5th) you ordered the item.
So if you're paid monthly, I discovered that you need to order several days *after* you get paid, to ensure that the following payments get demanded after your direct-deposit.
Or, being richer than god, you could just sock a future payment away in your account...the second choice is more prudent but also more impossible.
Having said all that,
Uh,
I look forward to my 5950 / 5800 https://www.pcworld.com/article/1499957/amd-is-undershipping-chips-to-keep-cpu-gpu-prices-elevated.html
