Capitalism. “Free” washes would increase rent. And benefit high-volume washers! Might increase lines though (wash more often with no skin in the game), pull back people who may be using laundromats as an alternative. Detrimental to low-volume washing households.
Mostly I’d say it’s an optics thing. Cost per year to exist wouldn’t change much, but clearly public opinion could.
In this case this is fucked up. Let people wash dammit
Honestly coin machines aren’t that bad as they don’t require you to pay a internet bill and they don’t have cyber issues.
Sure it might be inconvenient but you can just have a machine that converts bills to coins like they have at car washes.
They could!
Obviously we need UBI cuz…
