We were wanting to go to Bookman's on Speedway one Saturday, but we had all this pesky laundry to do. So, we did the thing with the google, and selected Pantano Wash and Dry Cleaning as the closest candidate to our destination. We called first, to make sure there were machines, and that it wasn't just a service. Vaguely reassured in a language I could not identify, we headed off. While things were sudsing, we explored Tuesday Morning, which is like Job Lots if Job Lots did 600 count Egyptian cotton sheets for $89 instead of $299. There are good kitchen bargains for the low-budget crofters such as ourselves, and the spouse had fun digging through discontinued and quirky novelty electronics. Worth a browse, but dangerous if you have cash in hand.
The Laundry:
The wash was fine, no problem. The bummer came when we got back from Bookman's; we realized that our stuff wasn't dry yet. We'd put in a dollar, thinking we got 15 minutes per quarter, but no, it was 10. What's more, the dryers were wussy, and annoying. Wussy=barely warm, and annoying= our stuff was still wet, and we had to hang around for two or three more quarters per load. By now my patience with humanity was wearing thin anyway, so this was a not-fun.
We left with damp towels.
In the End:
Pft. If I go back there it will be for coffee mugs at that clearance store, not to do my didies.
Pluses:
- I found a new store.
- Picking your laundromat around other stuff you have to do isn't the worst idea ever.
- Location: this sucker is hella far & gone on the East-side, yo.
- I was pissed about the dryers.
