How fun - I guess the poor dears in the white uniforms were the guards for the machines, I wonder if they scolded those using too much detergent! Pay as you wash I would imagine, perhaps they wrote out tickets for the patrons. We stopped at a laundromat in Minneapolis that had self-service pressing machines - a metered amount of time. There was a group of women using them that pressed everything, jeans, t-shirts, etc. It was fun to watch them using them - they knew what they were doing! I think Robert mentioned this 'mat, double-load Dexter washers, Bock extractors that shook the floor, it was heaven for a quarter. I want a roll-around laundry cart now!
