Hello, this is Christine, responding to Mary Ann ...the most recent review , today, 12/9/25. Mary Ann is not being completely honest. She's mad her car got towed. She came into my store at 12:32 pm, she put $1.00 in quarters in one of my dryers, she did not wash. Then left and went to the bar, Goodies, the be exact. She came back at 1:09, grabbed her items out of the dryer, went out to her car at 1:10, put her items in her car , and went directly back to the bar. So she literally spent $1.00 at my store, and only 20 minutes of drying time. She was no longer a customer of mine nor any other businesses in our plaza after 1:10 pm. Mary Ann did not return for her car until 5:17 pm. I have 24 hr surveillance cameras. She claims she came back at 2:00 ish...this is a complete lie. I have everything on video. And she did not call me until 5:32 pm . She claims she was trying to figure out where her car was for a few hours. Not true. She was at the bar for 5 1/2 more hours after finishing at my store, never looking for her car. At 1:10 she was no longer my customer, she was a bar patron. She also admits that she's done this before, all the time, and has not ever had a problem. Our plaza has a huge parking problem. I run a laundromat where people need to drive up and unload their items/clothing/etc. If there is no place to park, they leave, and I lose business. I pay rent for my parking spaces. I do not pay rent for bar customers. She knew exactly what she was doing and is lying about it. Completely immature. Everything is recorded and documented. And to make matters worse...I was not even the one who towed her. It was another business in my plaza. They saw her leave and never come back. So they towed her. We have signs up all over the property that state, customer parking only, violators will be towed, with enforcement codes and all. Mary Ann chose to ignore the signs and unfortunately paid the price.
Anyone who's actually a customer of mine knows how hard I work to run my tiny little laundromat. I keep it clean. I keep the machines running. I respond to my customers when they reach out. But I will not let some lady who gave my business a $1.00 and decided she had every right to park there for 5.5 hours after she left my store, go to the bar, and then lie about it on Yelp. It's wrong. Mary Ann was in the wrong. And she is not telling the truth. I hope anyone who reads this realizes that and will ignore her review. She threatened me with a bad yelp review and also threatened to spread word around town about me and my store.
Also...I did not create this yelp account for my store, therefore I do not claim it. I contacted yelp and told them years ago that I did not create this account ...they said they will not take it down. Therefore I choose not to use yelp. I have had horrible experiences with yelp and the way people use it. People are mean and they lie. They can literally say anything on yelp and businesses suffer because of this. It's not right. So I don't yelp. Ever.
If you took the time to read this, thank you .
