Customer Complaint

I'm currently at the laundry mat! I put the same amount of money in each machine, same settings, EVERYTHING, the same! However two of the machines gave me less time. I go to the manager, Sir, why did the machine give me less time for the same money? It's normal and does that. I then ask how this is possible when I put the same settings and all the machines are the same? The owner then approaches and proceeded to argue me down. Older white man with glasses. We're the same height. I tried to explain my issue and he disagreed about the machines and said there's no issues. This is normal. People, this is not normal! He simply tried to get me to oblige to his delusion and then tried to fight me in the establishment. This place is an NO-NO and not a safe place! Save your time and money! The owner of the establishment will try to fight you if you're a woman! He does not care about rectification. I took photos once the owner finally got out my face. I have a video too and will be reporting this organization to the better business bureau asap! You'll be able to see the video on twitter shortly. Resolution Sought I would like my money refunded and an apology from the owner.

The quality of the wash that a washing machine gives is not generally dependent on the length of time that the wash takes. A 5 to 10 minute difference in wash times between machines is no cause for alarm. A machine can take longer than another of the same type if the water fill time is slower on one machine. If the water fills more slowly, the laundry is no less thoroughly washed as a result. Therefore, there is no need for reimbursement of the customer in this case. If we believe that a machine is malfunctioning to the extent that a customer is deprived of significant value, then we will gladly reimburse. In this case, the approximate cycle time was displayed before the customer loaded and started the washer, if she had been observant. Nevertheless, the additional time was not significant. I made an effort to explain this to the customer, but she became abruptly very belligerent in a verbal way, demanding "get out of my face," when I was not even very proximate to her (about 3 feet away). I could not explain to her what I just explained above, because she had no tolerance for me speaking with her about it, even though I spoke to her in a matter-of-fact way. Given her beligerance and talking over me, it was necessary for me to raise my voice with her to communicate anything to her. However, there was never any physical contact with the customer, or anything remotely resembling physical contact. Her claim that my business is an unsafe place, in particular, because of her claim that I attempt to fight women, is completely ficticious. My customers tend to be very satisfied with us, and I and my staff are very friendly with them, which is why we have been a very successful laundromat since 1989. Our facility is loaded with security cameras to insure that everyone stays safe.

Please note the incident was captured on camera and I also have photos. I then told the owner my clothes stopped mid wash and he still didn’t oblige and instead asked me… why I didn’t tell him and I did . BBB please let me know if you need access to this evidence.
