Dear Shameless Competitor,
A deceitful Yelp review such as yours is found to be unnecessary; it also clearly shows an exhibit of poor business ethics, personal lack of knowledge, creativity, and soul.
Your initial passage with the mention of bedbugs irks because me because it is not something that is to be taken lightly. According to Civil Code §1954, by law, these types of infestations are reported to the city, which I did curiously investigate and was unable to find anything, as suspected. By the use of deduction, the tenting you may have witnessed was more likely to be for a treatment of termites. In actuality, these white ants dwell in dead plant material (such as the wood used to erect these older San Jose homes would probably be prime real estate these colonies). If there was any chance of the possibility for termites to be hitchhiking their way into a laundromat, I SUPPOSE the possibility may be for two of the following reasons: 1) Pinocchio, himself, has a passion of washing his clothes and often frequents this place due to the welcoming atmosphere this establishment gives, or 2) laundry customers bring in sawed-off pieces of their home's infrastructure to have it cleaned and/or dried - but then again, the heat from the dryers would kill off any living creatures, should there be any to begin with.
I do, however, whole-heartedly agree with you about the tamales from the donut shop next door; they are pretty amazing, along with the donuts (when they are freshly made, of course). With that being said, your level of cleanliness simply raises an eyebrow. Why, oh why would you ever purchase food from a place with so many awful critters you claim that are running around this area? Never would I even THINK twice about eating from somewhere or even near the vicinity of cockroaches. Sure, of course you would feel safer washing your personal delicates across the street - Aren't you so glad that the Mommy/Daddy insects tell their army of children that they are NOT allowed to cross the street, and doing so, they would have to suffer the consequences. I really wonder how insects discipline their young.
But seriously, I'm new to the area and not here to start any trouble. I had recently become a regular at VIP Launderland for their bigger washer and dryers to take care of my family's bedding. Being that I am a people-watcher by nature, I notice things all around me. I see that this place is well-kept and there should be no reason why there would be any so-called "bugs" found here; otherwise, one would not find me continuing to wash my personal belongings without any worries here what-so-ever.
For many businesses, constructive criticism found on Yelp is appreciated. One would use this to their advantage in order to make the necessary improvements to stay successful. But think about this: do you sleep better at night knowing that lies had to be made in order to downplay on a preexisting laundromat (a small one that is family-ran, nonetheless) to gain a few customers of your own?
God bless you and your family... read more
