@@InvestmentJoy I had a neighbor kid tossing rocks into the street, and then at my old ambulance I'm converting. I warned him repeatedly to please knock it off and he didnt. I was inside of it when I started hearing rocks plink off the side of it and I just ran out of good will and patience. I called the cops, filed a report, and they went and rounded him up. I told them I didnt want to press charges as there was no major damage, but that he was just tossing rocks into the street at random, who knows what else he might hit. They had dealt with the kid before so they werent surprised by any of this. They went and talked to his mom and dragged him out of their apartment and over to me to apologize. I gave him the 'dad' lecture and he halfassed apologized. I told him, in front of the cops, that he was lucky it was just me. The day before we had a kid his age shot just down the street over something stupid. One of the cops actually had responded to the shooting and backed me up. Said the kid was damn lucky I wasnt as hostile as I could have been over vehicular damage. So, I figured that was that, scared straight and all. Well, unfortunately a few days later, I found the tailpipe stuffed with rocks. Sure enough, on security cam there the little a-hole is stuffing rocks in it. He wasnt so cavalier when the police came and picked him up. I believe in kids being dumb sometimes, I believe that as adults we have the opportunity to teach them a lesson while at the same time being fair. However, there is a limit to that, and at some point even kids have to be held accountable for their actions and learn that consequences are a thing.
@alan wake Ha! Nope. I figure at 12 or 13 hes going to either straighten out or end up a statistic in the system. Either way, not worth my time. Whatever happened to him after the police picked him up must've worked as I've seen him around the area but he has not messed with me or my vehicles again.
If you have WiFi at the laundry mat that is private then I recommend giving it to police officers. They can sit in the lot for hours just watching Netflix Hulu RUclips etc.
Friend of mine did that with his Elderly Father, he runs a corner store. Someone kept breaking in during the night and stealing things. Flats of Chips, 24 packs of pops, money, lotto tickets ect~ Had officers stay on site, and they caught the guy in the first night.
On second thought, the kid is going around stealing from everybody, so do what you gotta do. I’m almost certain the parents are aware of what he’s been doing by now.
Yeh once is worth a warning (better still telling the parents as an ass whopping is probably the best deterrent) More than once and you need to ramp up the consequences
Hes tried. Didnt work even the police has talked to him. If that doesnt stop him nothing will until you press charges. Hes under 18 it wont effect the rest of his life
@@tipytoes_0061 Are you the kid? I dont know nothing bout him but say hypothetically the kid is trying to feed his siblings. Maybe his parents are a product of the opioid epidemic. I can condemn the kid like you. But I dont know why the kid is doing it.
@@InvestmentJoy Agreed on both counts. The attenuation is just right that the loud coins are manageable while your voice (when not drowned by the coins) is audible.
@@InvestmentJoy Yeah I don't use a microphone for my camera for when I'm using my phone only because when I am talking or even when I'm filming storms I just like it because it sounds more natural. The camera audio is not too bad on stuff these days.
you’re doing him a favor by turning him in now before it escalates. A coin pusher might not be a big deal.. but by not turning him in you’re teaching him stealing is ok and he’ll get away with it.
Honestly he has already been called out, and his parents have already punished him, the fact that he’s coming back, I think you really should press charges or at least alert the parents again.
His parents are the resin he is doing it his parents are not good parents so he has to ocupie home self some other way I'm not saying he is good I'm saying his parents are not good
Hey man, you don't need to apologize. You gave the kid a chance, and gave him a glimpse at the consequences. If he's going to keep coming back and stealing from you, he needs to get the hands. Also real talk: What are you going to do when the bucket is too heavy to carry from all the quarters you will be getting?
Try a double recording. Mix in the ambient (which you already have) with compression, and add your voice recording on top. That way your voice stays up when the ambient clips the coin sounds....
I’m stirring here wondering why I pay for cable, Netflix and Hulu; where I can’t find anything to watch so I resort to watching a guy at work at a laundromat.
From what I've seen, the Washers make the most money, his dryers are set up to run for .25, his soap dispensers don't really make all too much, and vending machines are the bills that he counted first.
alan wake fentanyl isn’t THAT fucking strong lmfao, real junkies aren’t washing their clothes. he should wear gloves because money is the dirtiest thing on the planet. Not because of fentanyl lmfao
Broke With Expensive Taste Ohio, where his laundromat is located has a pretty bad opioid problems. Some articles say it costs us up to $8.8 billion. So gloves would be highly recommended. Even if it weren’t for opioids, money is really dirty in general.
I know laundromats are notorious for not usually turning a good profit, but I freaking love watching you get those coins, and it makes me want a laundromat lol
At 4:42 you nailed it. If you don't put a stop to it now, it will continue to happen daily. You've played nice and gave him a chance. Time to step up the consequences.

IDEALLY, I want people to feel like I'm that one uncle/cousin they get to spend a day at the laundromat/trailerpark with once in a while when you come to town. I COULD up the quality....alot.... but really don't wana lose that feeling like I THINK I provide.
nhlmori80 I would say this is a brilliant idea, but it would take a lot more time to make these videos if he did that. Also I like the feel of the videos with it not being perfect audio. You can tell that he is honestly just a standup business man. You don’t have to be some one special to run a business. It’s a great idea but it would just take away the feel of who he is. The more editing he does to the video, the more it feels less authentic.
Honestly you could do a few things: 1) Take the footage to the police and have the kid get arrested. Teach him a SERIOUS lesson. When he's in custody, tell him this is the last straw and the next time it will be "you're going to juvenile hall." Have him call his parents from the jail in the police station, and then also have the police make the call to CPS (Child Protective Services). It's safe to assume that if he is stealing from you, there will most likely be trouble at home. Example- Maybe he's stealing to feed himself? Maybe his parents are "rock users." Does he seem to steal from you during specific times of the month, such as towards the end of the month, or are they sporadic? 2) The solution with the least amount of trouble is to simply remove the machine from the business. Sometimes the money you gain from it, may not be entirely worth the hassle. What if you replaced the coin pusher with a claw machine or one of those claw machines where you always win? You wont make as much money, but your less likely to get robbed.
Darren Boswell you can still ram into the aide of it, my father used to own an arcade with one and he tried this, and still got stolen from, he needs to install an alarm and put a sign saying there’s a camera.
Investment Joy you’re doing the right thing, everyone is agreeing with you as far as I can see, I would do the exact same thing and just get him in trouble.
Investment Joy I mean if it comes to it, You might have to get the cops more involved if his parents can’t discipline him. Nothing personal just business 🤷🏼♀️
Maybe its time to start building your realestate empire up instead of out? Like start improving upon what you have to make your individual properties more profitable?
It seems like he is dealing with properties in deeply recessed areas. Unless said areas start becoming gentrified, he won't make much more money by upgrading the property itself. The ceiling for what you can charge is what people are willing to pay. People aren't going to pay top dollar to live in a rough neighborhood, even if the property itself is desirable.
My local arcade installed these things on all of their old and new machines that let you swipe a card. The cards are provided by an atm looking machine that also lets you refill the card. So instead of inserting coins it lets people reload their card at the machine with cash/card and then use the credits on the arcade machines. Is there a way that you can do something like that with your laundry?
1 clean interior make it nice and repaint 2 make exterior more welcoming 3 upgrade machine’s it takes money to make money 4have someone behing desk to watch for people that are stealing and also to fix machines Pleas Pleas take the ideas into consideration it will help the business like this comment if you think he should use my ideas
I Would Have The Kid Arrested. You Gave The Kid A Chance, I Was Robbed At My Farm, I Had Carmen's Up, And Had There Tag Number, And The Police Pick Up The Kids, They Where 15-17 Years Old. I Made A Deal With There Parents To Help Me With My Hay. It Work Out Well For Me, They Didn't Go To Jail, I Did Get All My Stuff Back. Keep Up The Great Work My Friend
Considering that you're gonna feed all those coins back into the change machine, you really don't have to go through the trouble of taking them to the office to count them, you can just fill the change machine, take the bills, and consider that the week's income. It won't be exact, but over time, it should follow closely.
1. Congratulations on your new record. 2. It's sad that the kid hasn't learned his lesson. Looks like your going to have to criminal trespass him to get it to stop. 3. Truth of the matter is that anyone who would have the knowledge and skills to cut a key from a picture wouldn't waste their time. They would have the knowledge, skills, and tools to simply bypass them. Locks are only good for keeping honest people out. I've worked for locksmiths before and it's scary how easy it is to get into stuff. 4. Does your coin counter only count quarters? I thought I saw a dial to change coin values. 5. Keep it man I really appreciate your videos and the look behind the scenes.
Coin counter counts one coin at a time, i have to select the choice on a dial, then i can set rejection (It's set for accept quarter, reject all else) thus the hardees/carl JR cup full of dimes and nickels. I'll do a end-of-year count on those.
Those camera wires are all completely exposed, does the place have a drop ceiling you can put them up in, or maybe get some metal raceway channels you can put them in along the corner of the wall/ceiling?
Your doing the right thing with going to the police about the kid, if he didn’t learn from you being nice enough to go to his parents and not pressing charges. Then you have no choice but to press charges, or his friends, or other people will see that you won’t do anything and also take advantage of you. Your reputation is at stake here, and you need to show people not to steal from you, or they will be persecuted.
I think you gave the kid the benefit of the doubt but it's like the saying goes, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. Will we get to see the footage of the kid stealing the coins? How could you steal for the push machine is what I'm wondering. Also hoping for a better audio like you said and great video! Still love watching the bill counter ha
Don't listen to all the hypocrites that tell you not to press charges. if it happened to them they wouldn't think twice. If he stole from you twice, after letting him go for the first time - YOU SHOULD DO WHATEVER IT TAKES.
Same thing happened to me I had a costume jewelry and gift store and a girl kept on coming in and stealing a few things from my bargain area ($1 and $2 items) abut $5 at a time, once o confirmed it by looking at my cameras I called her out on it on two occasions when she came in the next time, she was all you cant prove nothing no one will believe you so I showed her the video the second time I had and she changed her tune. I also made sure that where I spoke to her was in the cameras eye line so that was also recorded. Few weeks went by she comes back does it again she always spent about 15 minutes in the shop walking around looking at things waiting for me to go in the back or do something I went to the back and called the police I could see her on a monitor in the back putting stuff in her bag they came arrested her and emptied her bag and there were 6 pairs of earrings and some bracelets as well as other items from other shops along the street i told them it wasn't the first time and showed them the video i had. she was arrested and convicted of shoplifting and received a jail term because she was on parole for previous shoplifting offences. Some people wont learn and in the end you need to be compassionate an give them a chance but repeatedly doing the same thing there is a point where you have to say enough is enough and you have to protect your interests. Some time passed and I would see this girl walk past my shop, she looked in the window but never once came in so eventually she got the memo whether it was to avoid ny shop because I had cameras or she fixed herself up I don't really care its just she was not my problem to deal with anymore.
Arent't some quarters worth more than a quarter due to the silver content in some of them? Also I'd be checking those dollar bills for imperfections etc, I'm pretty sure they're worth more than a dollar too. I'd be checking everything with such a cash business. P.S love your channel
It’s better for the kid to face a charge as a minor when he can more easily get it expunged or sealed as an adult than if he continues and gets caught when the kid is an adult or close enough it’s an adult charge.
@@InvestmentJoy He won't, as you can see. Crappy parents and poor upbringing. If someone thinks society will make him any better as he gets older, they're deluded!
Steven Cooper some people gotta go through criminal charges to straighten up and if the kid doesn’t it’s their choice. Either way this dude doesn’t deserve to be stolen from. Even if the neighborhood is rough there’s services to help people so that stealing isn’t your only option. It’s not like the kids stealing food to survive. If something isn’t done the kid will keep coming back, probably destroy more stuff and likely escalate to other crimes
I have an idea to catch that little brat. Install security cameras and a remote lock for the door. Stay in the office, wait for him to come in and wreck your place. Then, lock the door to lock him in and call the police.
Have you thought about getting a card system. Where People load a card with money, and then use the card to pay for the wash/dry? Not sure what those systems cost, but it would save you a lot of time. You would never have to load or unload any of the machines. With the coin pusher, Isnt that tech. Gambling? Im a bit surprised that it is legal to have it.
I would move the office to behind ware the dryers are and put arcade cabinets ware the coffice was . You have to cut tho the wall too make it part of the laundromat
do you count the change machine dollars as profit? Or how do you calculate it since people put dollars in the change machine, and then use the quarters for your laundry machines
Does your coin pusher have a security lock system to when people try pushing it or rocking it all the coins that fall in your basket not to the outside box or is that an old coin pusher
Hey man. Considering the fact that you run a businesses that deals with a lot of coins, how do you feel about the US $1 coin. Do you think people in general and you in particular would be better off if more washing machine/vending machine manufacturers made machines that could accept them? Also do you have any thoughts on machines that can accept credit/debit cards? Can regular people like you or me even get those machines?
I don't know about Ohio, but here in NY 1$ coins are hard to come by. The banks don't really carry them either. Plus Brandon would still have to keep quarters for the machines that cost let's say $2.50 and so on.
@@InvestmentJoy I so love dollar coins. I used to take public transportation where ever I went because I didn't have a car until a year ago, and they make things so much easier since our buses haven't dollar bills in probably 15 years now. I wish dollar coins were more common in my area. Are they common in OH? Sorry about your lengthy post disappearing. It's annoying and frustrating when that happens.
@@tashainjena Bank tellers at 4 different banks near me think the same thing, that people are collecting them.... leaves very few for us that like to use them to get by day to day.
There’s not many things in this world I hate more than a damned thief... being a kid I may let it slide once but if it happens again I will make damn sure it doesn’t happen a 3rd time.... I hate that you have to go through this being as nice as you are giving him a second chance...
Damn. A tad over 2K just from one collection. Noice. Sounds like that kid's dad (if he has one) has not beat him enough. If I found out my kid were robbing the laundromat, I'd beat him pretty bad and then drag him by the ear to the laundromat owner, make him grovel and apologize, pay whatever the kid stole back, and then make him work free labor to pay for it, plus restitution, either for the owner, if he's willing, or for me to make up the cost. Take him in the back yard. Give him a shovel. Make him dig. Then make him fill in the hole. Rinse and repeat until the lesson is learned. Of course, I'd also tell him that if I get word that he's been on the property again the consequences will be very severe. Like going to the hospital and having to tell the doctor he fell down the stairs several times severe. Harsh, maybe. Abusive? Maybe by modern standards. Effective? Almost certainly. Pain is the most ancient of teachers. Its lessons have taught living things what not to do since the dawn of life. As humans, we learn to avoid things that cause us harm or pain. At least most of us. If the kid won't stop stealing just because it's the rules, then suffering will have to be his teacher. Let him try that stealing when he's in jail. His fellow inmates will not be as nice as you have been.

My local arcade installed these things on all of their old and new machines that let you swipe a card. The cards are provided by an atm looking machine that also lets you refill the card. So instead of inserting coins it lets people reload their card at the machine with cash/card and then use the credits on the arcade machines. Is there a way that you can do something like that with your laundry?
1 clean interior make it nice and repaint
2 make exterior more welcoming
3 upgrade machine’s it takes money to make money
4have someone behing desk to watch for people that are stealing and also to fix machines
Pleas Pleas take the ideas into consideration it will help the business
like this comment if you think he should use my ideas
Great video man keep grinding and working hard🥒
I bet Menards loves the free advertisement!! Lol
You are such a cool guy. You're a great guy. I love your businesses.
where'd you get that amazing coin counter from? love the videos! keep it up
The money counting machines are awesome :D
You gotta wash your hands 50 times a day.😂💯
I Would Have The Kid Arrested. You Gave The Kid A Chance, I Was Robbed At My Farm, I Had Carmen's Up, And Had There Tag Number, And The Police Pick Up The Kids, They Where 15-17 Years Old. I Made A Deal With There Parents To Help Me With My Hay. It Work Out Well For Me, They Didn't Go To Jail, I Did Get All My Stuff Back. Keep Up The Great Work My Friend
Someone call my boss and tell him to buy us a couple of these bill counters....
Love your videos omg I'm so happy when you get money lol
Amazing I am sitting at my local laundromat right now watching this. Yes I agree I would press charges against that little turd.
Met w/ police like 4ish hours ago
Like, 2 weeks ago you were at 50K subs😂😂😂 and now look
It wasn't till you commented that the action started.
Oh man, I like watching you dump the money into the bucket :(
😅 same here
Laundromat is looking nice and clean! 👌🏼
Considering that you're gonna feed all those coins back into the change machine, you really don't have to go through the trouble of taking them to the office to count them, you can just fill the change machine, take the bills, and consider that the week's income. It won't be exact, but over time, it should follow closely.
1. Congratulations on your new record.
2. It's sad that the kid hasn't learned his lesson. Looks like your going to have to criminal trespass him to get it to stop.
3. Truth of the matter is that anyone who would have the knowledge and skills to cut a key from a picture wouldn't waste their time. They would have the knowledge, skills, and tools to simply bypass them. Locks are only good for keeping honest people out. I've worked for locksmiths before and it's scary how easy it is to get into stuff.
4. Does your coin counter only count quarters? I thought I saw a dial to change coin values.
5. Keep it man I really appreciate your videos and the look behind the scenes.
Coin counter counts one coin at a time, i have to select the choice on a dial, then i can set rejection (It's set for accept quarter, reject all else) thus the hardees/carl JR cup full of dimes and nickels. I'll do a end-of-year count on those.
Thank you for saving me from wasting my money on a laundrymat
Love to see the laundromat this way
Are you gonna film at the other laundry mats soon?
shout out to the _people of the rock_ 😂 😂 😂
Those camera wires are all completely exposed, does the place have a drop ceiling you can put them up in, or maybe get some metal raceway channels you can put them in along the corner of the wall/ceiling?
If RUclips starts demonetizing this dude, I have lost all faith in RUclips.
Your doing the right thing with going to the police about the kid, if he didn’t learn from you being nice enough to go to his parents and not pressing charges. Then you have no choice but to press charges, or his friends, or other people will see that you won’t do anything and also take advantage of you. Your reputation is at stake here, and you need to show people not to steal from you, or they will be persecuted.
Yep, I agree
I like it better when you carry the camera the whole time... I like that POV view! :-)
I think you gave the kid the benefit of the doubt but it's like the saying goes, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. Will we get to see the footage of the kid stealing the coins? How could you steal for the push machine is what I'm wondering. Also hoping for a better audio like you said and great video! Still love watching the bill counter ha
Sounds like this guy needs to have a ADT security system installed in his laundromat
It’s so satisfying watching you collect money
I’m sorry you have go through this😾 you need to get rid of the coin pusher, so that doesn’t tempt anyone else.
0:32 Mountain Dew in a Coca Cola vending machine? You madman
Have some little brackets made where you can bolt it to the grown
Palpatine: DO IT!!!
I love that leather jacket that Brandon is wearing, he has good fashion sense! 👍
Your coin pusher should have a set up inside thag closes when no coins were inserted and a tilt sensor that shuts the gate
It has it, not sure why it's not doing its job
@@InvestmentJoy the one we bought had it all taped so it wouldn't work properly littel digging in a manual might point you in a direction
Don't listen to all the hypocrites that tell you not to press charges.
if it happened to them they wouldn't think twice.
If he stole from you twice, after letting him go for the first time - YOU SHOULD DO WHATEVER IT TAKES.
9:13 you keep the doors unlocked while you are collecting money? How did those people get in? Glad they were not rock people.
Congratulations on the video
Have you tried a wireless mic with a sheepskin cover? And tweaking the settings, may help with the noise...
How often do you refill your pop machines? and snack machine? I never see you or remember you mentioning it?
Better man than I am. I would've pressed charges the very first time.
Same thing happened to me I had a costume jewelry and gift store and a girl kept on coming in and stealing a few things from my bargain area ($1 and $2 items) abut $5 at a time, once o confirmed it by looking at my cameras I called her out on it on two occasions when she came in the next time, she was all you cant prove nothing no one will believe you so I showed her the video the second time I had and she changed her tune. I also made sure that where I spoke to her was in the cameras eye line so that was also recorded.
Few weeks went by she comes back does it again she always spent about 15 minutes in the shop walking around looking at things waiting for me to go in the back or do something I went to the back and called the police I could see her on a monitor in the back putting stuff in her bag they came arrested her and emptied her bag and there were 6 pairs of earrings and some bracelets as well as other items from other shops along the street i told them it wasn't the first time and showed them the video i had.
she was arrested and convicted of shoplifting and received a jail term because she was on parole for previous shoplifting offences.
Some people wont learn and in the end you need to be compassionate an give them a chance but repeatedly doing the same thing there is a point where you have to say enough is enough and you have to protect your interests.
Some time passed and I would see this girl walk past my shop, she looked in the window but never once came in so eventually she got the memo whether it was to avoid ny shop because I had cameras or she fixed herself up I don't really care its just she was not my problem to deal with anymore.
Arent't some quarters worth more than a quarter due to the silver content in some of them? Also I'd be checking those dollar bills for imperfections etc, I'm pretty sure they're worth more than a dollar too. I'd be checking everything with such a cash business. P.S love your channel
It’s better for the kid to face a charge as a minor when he can more easily get it expunged or sealed as an adult than if he continues and gets caught when the kid is an adult or close enough it’s an adult charge.
That's how I'm taking it, some misery now, HOPEFULLY a change later on.
@@InvestmentJoy He won't, as you can see. Crappy parents and poor upbringing. If someone thinks society will make him any better as he gets older, they're deluded!
Steven Cooper some people gotta go through criminal charges to straighten up and if the kid doesn’t it’s their choice. Either way this dude doesn’t deserve to be stolen from. Even if the neighborhood is rough there’s services to help people so that stealing isn’t your only option. It’s not like the kids stealing food to survive. If something isn’t done the kid will keep coming back, probably destroy more stuff and likely escalate to other crimes
Ever considered getting any claw machines for your laundromat? Really enjoy your content, thank you!
I have an idea to catch that little brat. Install security cameras and a remote lock for the door. Stay in the office, wait for him to come in and wreck your place. Then, lock the door to lock him in and call the police.
Have you thought about getting a card system. Where People load a card with money, and then use the card to pay for the wash/dry? Not sure what those systems cost, but it would save you a lot of time. You would never have to load or unload any of the machines. With the coin pusher, Isnt that tech. Gambling? Im a bit surprised that it is legal to have it.
@alan wake LOL
Lol just as i was wondering how is it gonna work with all those ones down there it jammed lol
Can you switch the payment mechanism for the machines from coins to adding cash on a card? Less opportunity for getting robbed.
I would move the office to behind ware the dryers are and put arcade cabinets ware the coffice was . You have to cut tho the wall too make it part of the laundromat
Dope video 👌🔥💪
thx
These videos make me want to rob a laundry mat
3:20 Change out that master lock those can be picked in seconds check out the lock picking lawyer
criminals don't pick locks
do you count the change machine dollars as profit? Or how do you calculate it since people put dollars in the change machine, and then use the quarters for your laundry machines
Another nice collection video! The discord link expired though so you might want to put up a new one so new people can join it!

How old is the kid? I would have called the police the first time if he was 15-17.
The kid gotta learn his lesson
The kid may not have never been taught a lesson in his life. I feel bad for him to be honest.
The Commoner He’s about to learn one that’s for damn sure
Yeh much as people deride it had the parents tanned his backside after the first time I doubt it would be a problem now
Does your coin pusher have a security lock system to when people try pushing it or rocking it all the coins that fall in your basket not to the outside box or is that an old coin pusher
I work in a Maximum Security Prison. You did that kid, & your community a favor.
I didn’t see it too well but that quarter looks like some of the silver proof quarters I get from the us mint. If it is it’s worth 4 bucks or so.
Doesn't your coin pusher have a door that locks some have a sensor that when tipped or bumped it buzzes and shut the door.
Hey man. Considering the fact that you run a businesses that deals with a lot of coins, how do you feel about the US $1 coin. Do you think people in general and you in particular would be better off if more washing machine/vending machine manufacturers made machines that could accept them? Also do you have any thoughts on machines that can accept credit/debit cards? Can regular people like you or me even get those machines?
I don't know about Ohio, but here in NY 1$ coins are hard to come by. The banks don't really carry them either. Plus Brandon would still have to keep quarters for the machines that cost let's say $2.50 and so on.
I wrote a lengthy response to this about my love of $1 coins and now it's gone. If i get time i'll go back and re-do it, dang it.
@@InvestmentJoy I so love dollar coins. I used to take public transportation where ever I went because I didn't have a car until a year ago, and they make things so much easier since our buses haven't dollar bills in probably 15 years now. I wish dollar coins were more common in my area. Are they common in OH? Sorry about your lengthy post disappearing. It's annoying and frustrating when that happens.
I work at a bank and people are always asking for dollar coins. They collect them, I think. Not too sure, but alot of people want them.
@@tashainjena Bank tellers at 4 different banks near me think the same thing, that people are collecting them.... leaves very few for us that like to use them to get by day to day.
There’s not many things in this world I hate more than a damned thief... being a kid I may let it slide once but if it happens again I will make damn sure it doesn’t happen a 3rd time.... I hate that you have to go through this being as nice as you are giving him a second chance...
Its best for him 2 get wake-up call with the police now than when he get older cause its prison then
Agreed. And his record can be expunged. He won't have such luxuries as he gets older.
Damn. A tad over 2K just from one collection. Noice.
Sounds like that kid's dad (if he has one) has not beat him enough. If I found out my kid were robbing the laundromat, I'd beat him pretty bad and then drag him by the ear to the laundromat owner, make him grovel and apologize, pay whatever the kid stole back, and then make him work free labor to pay for it, plus restitution, either for the owner, if he's willing, or for me to make up the cost. Take him in the back yard. Give him a shovel. Make him dig. Then make him fill in the hole. Rinse and repeat until the lesson is learned.
Of course, I'd also tell him that if I get word that he's been on the property again the consequences will be very severe. Like going to the hospital and having to tell the doctor he fell down the stairs several times severe. Harsh, maybe. Abusive? Maybe by modern standards. Effective? Almost certainly. Pain is the most ancient of teachers. Its lessons have taught living things what not to do since the dawn of life. As humans, we learn to avoid things that cause us harm or pain. At least most of us. If the kid won't stop stealing just because it's the rules, then suffering will have to be his teacher. Let him try that stealing when he's in jail. His fellow inmates will not be as nice as you have been.
I’m gonna build a laundromat around poor apartment is that a good place to build it
Every week is that biggest collection ever lol
