  This actually isn't a joke? I got to the point where it asks for a credit card number, seriously expecting (hoping maybe?) for a "Haha!" message, and yet...

  It's like someone read the New York Magazine Article “Let’s, Like, Demolish Laundry” (http://nymag.com/news/features/laundry-apps-2014-5/) and completely missed the point.

  So, you give it a credit card number and it gives you cash? What could go wrong there?

  I know its not much cash but still... brass balls to run that one.

  I live in bumfuck NM and both laundromats in my town use stored value cards. Are we far more progressive than I'd thought?

  What laundromat doesn't have a change machine available?
