Laundromat Term
Unattended store posting
Definition
The sign an unstaffed laundry owes, naming the owner, the price, and the time a payment buys.
Why It Matters
Wash-dry-fold is the one line sold with staff, and vend price is the price per cycle. New York joins them: the posting duty applies to every self-service laundry except one staffed by a full-time attendant, so the store's own staffing decides whether it owes the sign. Two signs, no smaller than twelve by eighteen inches, one naming the owner and address and one giving the price, the cycle time per unit of payment, and how a refund is claimed. The penalty ladder runs to two hundred and fifty dollars with each day a separate violation. Walk the store and photograph both, then check the posted cycle time against the seller's turns figure. Read at one state only, so treat the duty as New York's answer and ask locally elsewhere.
