Realistic Drying Times Hold No Quarter With Them
I’m working in a laundromat.
Customer: “My clothes aren’t dry!”
Me: “How much clothing did you put in the dryer, and how long did you put them in for?”
Customer: “What’s that got to do with it? I just put in the quarter and they’re still wet!”
I go over to his machine and see that the dryer is at capacity.
Me: “Sir, one quarter gives six minutes of time on this dryer.”
I point to the multiple signs that say as much.
Customer: “What’s that got to do with anything?! I put in my quarter, and my clothes are still wet!”
Me: “Your clothes will need longer than six minutes to get dry.”
Customer: “Why?”
Me: “Sir, there is no way a dryer can dry your clothes in six minutes without melting them or setting them on fire.”
