But have you thought about the owner?

They have yacht expenses!

I'm pretty sure a laundromat is not a high profit business. I'd imagine the money is fairly tight.

The laundromats in my area are run by immigrants and their family. So it was common to see like a 9-yo helping around.

But I'm sure they are completely greedy and deserve to go out of business

In my area, while we have laundermats, it’s also very common for apartments to have coin-op laundry for tenants. With the absurd levels of rent they charge, those landlords are doing just fine without a bit of extra laundry revenue
