What TF kind of nonsense did they do to get banned? Thats the real story here.

They are probably doing Fluff and Fold not associated with the laundromat. It’s usually ok because it’s a win/win. However, sometimes they basically take over the place and hog all the machines pissing off regular customers.

Fluff and fold?

u/Cowfootstew 4d ago
They do your laundry for a fee (kind of like dry cleaning, you drop the clothes off with them and get them back cleaned and folded), Washing drying and folding. Like the last person said, it becomes problematic when they are using up all the machines.

Where I’m at, lots of the chains offer in-house fluff and fold, some official some not. The others are kinda like Instacart for laundry. They swing by , pick it up, fluff and fold and return it. Even if you have a washer and dryer at home, you should treat yourself one day! Drop them off on your way to work and pick up after! They do a great job, and the soap they use smells amazing.

And what is so special about this laundromat that you would care that much about being banned?

Who cares? A business can ban you for any reason as long as it’s not discrimination.

Finally. I've always wished female bystanders would throw hands when a woman starts hitting a guy whose moral code prohibits him from hitting her back. 😆
I see a band forming .... Laundro-Matt and the Red Slappers.

All that trouble and copping a few knocks just to use a fucking laundromat. Surely, there's another one close enough to use instead.

I lived in Oakland for a few years, seen a lot of poverty and a lot of ghetto shit, from bulletproof glass at the Chinese food restaurant and lil ceasars to 24 hour check cashing stores, but I never seen security at a fuckin laundromat 🤣🤣🤣

u/BADoVLAD 4d ago
Are we just ignoring the idea that a fuckin laundromat has bouncers?

u/SpotCreepy4570 3d ago
Lots of cash money in there.

u/BADoVLAD 3d ago
Yeah, that's fair, I hadn't considered that. Just seems more than a little bit bizarre that one of the most mundane chores in existence has security I guess.

u/FraggleRock_ 4d ago
It's a laundromat likely on the South or West side of Chicago. Do you need further clarification?

Why TF does it matter that he’s from Venezuela?

Why do you think

u/probablyaythrowaway 3d ago
Because they’re racists?

The US is racist as fuck and wants to deport these people or see them in pain. It’s disgusting.

If a pitbull bites a kid on a playground, why is it said that it's a pitbull instead of just "a dog"?

u/RedBaret 4d ago
Are you seriously comparing humans from different countries to dog breeds? You are the problem which the OP is wondering about.

u/DoktorPauk 4d ago edited 4d ago
I'm not comparing anything.. I just want to say that there is such a thing as reputation.. For example, if "a man stubbed people" somewhere in Europe, I want to know where is this man from, what is his cultural background that produces such crap.. And I'll be aware of the people with similar background in the future.. That's how reputation works.. People want to know full context!

u/LordBlueSky 3d ago
Yeah sure, as if you were interested in the particular way he was raised. You only stop at the country, or even just at the general location.

u/DoktorPauk 3d ago
If you had to choose a country to live in, which would you prefer - Somalia or Italy? And why? You'll probably say that all countries are created equal, so there is no difference.. :)

u/LordBlueSky 3d ago edited 3d ago
Literally what's the point of the question? That Italy is a better country to live in? Sure it is, and?
My point is you don't care about context, you only care if the person is from another country so you can think "ha! They're violent". But that's no context at all, a country is a HUGE place where a LOT of people live, if you truly cared about context then at least you would also ask for the state, city and even district he's from. And that's just geographical information, if you cared about context there's a lot of more important questions to be made.
Just think about what happens when a native-born commits a crime, does knowing he was born in the country is enough context? Of course not

People just commenting randomly about the incident, trying to offer insightful opinions... I'm just here wondering 'wait, what, security at a laundromat'?
I kinda think if you need security at a laundromat, whatever excuse you need as a society is pretty bad.

u/cracky_Jack 3d ago
Is the fact that he is an immigrant relevant? Wouldn't this post work just as well if it were titled "Man who was allegedly banned...?"

u/PoopieButt317 1d ago
Yeah, story unknown. Just the end. For all we know all his worldly clothes possessions are in the washer. I know some laundromats kick you out for too muddy work clothes.

What is it with this with "Venezuelan immigrant" shit. I don't need to know his nationality to think he is a jackass.

u/fatpermaloser 4d ago
can't he just use a different laundromat? I usually use those unmanned laundromats so it's weird for me to see someone get banned from one.

Security at a laundromat? Must be the shittiest neighborhood in America (and I’m from the Bronx)!

Security guard will probably loose his job and business will be sued and lose. Welcome to America
