  Not the same company, but I live in apartments with washer/dryers like this. Coin op entirely removed.

  You have to have a device that is bluetooth capable to use them.

  Anyway pretty sure someone in this apartment has figured out something similar because the machines keep magically becoming unpaid machines after they get serviced. After each service, they will be asking for money to be able to be used for like a day or so, but then soon enough, I’ll go back to the laundry room and all the machines will be free and not asking for money.

  Originally, I thought it was the company disabling them due to like a data breach or something and was trying to find out if there was an undisclosed data leak and/or a class action lawsuit brewing. Since neither of those are the case, I’m pretty sure it’s a Notorious Do-Gooder.

  So, thanks, Notorious Do-Gooder, for all the free washes and drys.

    You're welcome, how's the free cable too by the way?
