Disgraceful, uncouth, and dishonest! All terms I would use to describe the owner/ manager and staff of this establishment. I have heard this woman (who may be the manager or owner?) curse out other customers before, but gave her the benefit of the doubt, rationalizing that these customers must have been difficult. HA! I WAS SO WRONG!
I usually came here because the prices were okay, and drying is free with one of their pre-paid cards.
On this occasion, I was in a rush, so I quickly gathered all of my clothing from the dryers, and left. It wasn't until I got home, that I noticed leaving some things behind. Yikes!
My first instinct was to call the laundromat to ask them to secure my things,and tell them I'd be coming back right away. But there was no answer at the mat. Poo!
Anyway, I hauled my tail back to the laundromat,only to find my clothes missing from the dryer. "No biggie", I thought, "I'll just ask the attendant if he's seen anything in the dryers." The attendant was a totally useless! He gave me a blank stare before denying knowledge of the whereabouts of my clothes. No offer to help, or look in the back, or ask the manager...NOTHING!
Defeated, I was about to walk out, when it occurred to me that the owner may want to know that a costumer's clothes went missing. WRONG AGAIN! I asked to speak to the owner. The woman who I recognized as the owner from my previous visits had left for the day, but he called her up.
I explained my situation to this woman, and that's when things got weird. She began to yell at me, asking why I left my clothes in the dryer so long. Once more, I explained that I had been in a rush and overlooked the dryer. She became more irate, despite my explanation, then confessed to having my clothes locked in her office. HERE IS THE KICKER - SHE SAID SHE WOULD BE KEEPING MY CLOTHES TO TEACH ME A LESSON. What! In! The! World!
At first, I thought, "I'm being Punk'ed, right?!" So I laughed nervously, tried to remain calm, and asked her again for my things. It wasn't until she yelled, "Bitch, what part of I'm keeping them don't you understand?" and hung up the phone on me, that I realized that this woman is really psycho.
Sadly, I had to get the police involved to get her to return my clothes. Yeah, it went that far. My clothing was intact, but the ordeal was ridiculous.The officer was very sympathetic, stating that they get a lot of calls about her. Soooo...other people knew this woman was crazy and didn't warn me...thanks guys!
Well, consider yourself warned! DON'T RISK THE WRATH OF THIS INSANE LAUNDROMAT OWNER!!!! read more
