Weird. So yeah I just got back from the laundromat and it's a coinless one. You have to put money in a machine and it gives you a card loaded with the
money and you just swipe the card to use at the machines.

That's how the machines are in our apartment building. I prefer it that way.

Well the only thing that sucked was I had 10 dollars on my card and I started 2 washing machines that were 2 dollars each and I go to start the third it said I
only had 2 dollars left. WTF I had to get the owner to come help me.

We had machines like that in the building i lived in in PIttsburgh, and also we could load funds onto our id cards and use them in the dorm laundries when I
was in college. It's a lot better than lugging around a pocket full of quarters.

Just make sure you always have enough money on the card!
This happened to me twice; I was a few cents short and I had to walk back to the gym where they only had ONE reloading machine for the whole apartment community And there are like 10 buildings. Makes no sense to me! |

the machines in some dorms are like that. the university ID is loaded w/cash and can be used for laundry, photo copies, food, etc.

I was trying to steal quarters from a laundromat yesterday so I could do laundry in my boyfriend's building and it had those stupid cards.

That's how the machines were at my dorm. It was kind of annoying since I was a poor college student and I didn't want to put $25 dollards on my card
and then have half of it sit there for a week. They only let you put it on in certain increments ($10, $25, $35....) and it was kinda annoying when I had
almost enough on there for all my laundry but I needed like enough money for one more load but I had to put $10 on there so I could do one load. I dunno, it
was nice to not have to have coins saved up but sometimes (esp. for a broke college student) it was annoying and made me even more broke.
