(15,801 posts)Got a note from the property owners advising that they are going to be upgrading our laundry rooms. Yay. Then they asked how we would prefer to pay to operate the machines, with a prepaid card or a phone app that would deduct the expense from our bank accounts.
My immediate choice was the prepaid card, I just couldn't see connecting a washing machine to my bank in order to wash my undies. The property manager told me that she made the same choice and is encouraging other tenants to do likewise, especially since many of the tenants don't have phones that could do the job, and others still have only landline phones.
Until they install the new machines I'll keep stashing quarters. But I'm ticked at the nearby carwash that installed a new bill changer that dispenses tokens instead of quarters. Now I gotta go all the way to the bank.
