Oomis, I don’t believe that, not that I want to disagree with you, I am sure as a laundromat, they have many questions when it comes to things people send in, and since the wig, in particular was in a separate plastic bag, I believe that she called before washing it. People who don’t do their own laundry and drop all their laundry off for others to handle sometimes don’t read labels and don’t think before throwing things in the bag. So I tend to think that the laundromat looks at the items and separates them to determine which gets washed in cold, hot or warm. Which need delicate cycle or pretreatment, etc. I am sure many a dry clean only item has found its way to the laundromat as well.
So here is a question I would ask you in general, even though I believe that they called. What if they didn’t call. Who’s responsibility was it to make the call? Who’s responsibility is it to make sure that everything in the bag that you drop off at the laundromat is actually intended to be washed at the laundromat? How does it become their fault?
Hypothetically speaking, if my washing machine broke and you so graciously offered to have your shiksa wash my clothes for me and I dropped everything off at your house in a bag with no instructions and she ruined something that I should not have put in the bag who’s fault would it be? Mine or hers?
