Munkie Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 15 minutes ago, Ish said: Changing topics: Is it just me or are laundromat dryers really, really, really inefficient? I swear, it takes me three times as long (and thus many more quarters) to get a load dry in a laundromat than it does at home. No, I have no empirical evidence of this and have not bothered to actually research it. I’m stuck at the laundromat and feel the need to vent. I like to tell myself that it's the cost of doing magic. When I used to work at dominos, I'd have to drop off all the filthy, sauce, cornmeal, and cheese scabbed aprons once or twice a week at the the laundromat across the street. Sometimes I wondered if they were secretly just burning the aprons en masse and just had a stash of brand new ones in the back. They were pristine. I'm fortunate enough to have a washer/dryer apartment but the amount of effort it puts into it is embarrassing at times. It's the mechanical equivalent to scraping at it with your thumbnail, only soggier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 The Domino’s I used to manage had a washer/dryer ;all in one!) for the hand towels and a laundry service that picked up our aprons and floor mats weekly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 The dryers in the laundry room in my basement take ages. They're a 72 minute cycle base, and it's sometimes necessary to add extra time. When I was taking care of my grandmother, I would sometimes take laundry up there, and her dryer would get the same load dry in 30-40 minutes. And yet, despite that, I've had the dryers here scorch some of my stuff, which I've never had happen anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The laundry service is definitely the way to go. After we moved locations, they got a washer/dryer stack. Except people would take their aprons off, bundle them up because they're gross after a dinner rush, and chuck them in the washer. They'd come out still filthy because bundled up things dont get clean. And they'd be daisy chained together what with all the straps. It's not worth the savings.

Ish Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 This is one of the main reasons chefs and cooks in “real” restaurants don’t wear aprons. Gimme a half-way decent chef’s jacket any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notably, even on that scale (like almost all others) modern techno has been becoming more and more light-weight. As a fan of old-school anthem trance, this depresses me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you could always start something new. Though this whole topic feels awkward, since Raindog seems be be being used a lot, despite him providing no comments at all...

I've been police since 1995, am a certified police tactics and use of force expert and I'm happy to at least spread knowledge so folks have accurate information instead of kinda sorta things. Anything to help so folks are informed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a dream where I was stuck waiting at an airport, and in it I was bored. Not sure if that counts as actual boredom, but I'm in no hurry to have that dream again... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
