This was my second time using this laundromat. I arrived around 8:00 PM with three baskets of laundry, but I only planned to wash two loads because the laundromat closes at 10:00 PM.
Shortly after I arrived, an employee approached me and said that if I wanted to wash the items in the third basket, I would need to start that load within five minutes. I explained that I wasn't going to wash the third basket because there wouldn't be enough time before closing. I later took that basket back out to my car.
After washing my two loads, I was moving the second load to the dryers when the employee became upset. She told me I was barely going to have enough time to dry my clothes and accused me of lying because she thought I had started the third load after telling her I wouldn't. She repeatedly asked where the third basket was, and I explained that I had already returned it to my car, though she didn't seem to believe me.
Because of the interaction, I decided not to put my second load in the dryer. Instead, I packed the wet clothes into a laundry basket, placed clean sheets on top, and took everything to my car.
As I was preparing to leave, the employee came outside, knocked on my car window, and apologized, saying, "Sorry I was short with you. I thought you had lied to me." She then asked whether I had put my clothes in the dryer. I told her no, because I knew it was close to closing time and wanted to make sure she could leave on time.
As a result, I left with wet clothes in my car and now have to wash them again. read more
