It started out as a normal day and then I got a text message ” I was in your store and realized someone had ripped your changer apart”.
The picture above is not something from Ghost Hunters or Ghost Adventures although I have some stories for them that might get on an episode. No, this picture is a guy under a sheet using a grinder on the front of my change machine.
Instead of looking for a real job and putting his skills to work he has decided that is would be a better career choice to use this ability to steal from others.
As in most cases like this, the damage that was done far outweighs the amount of money that was stolen. For a bit of cash, he destroyed a $1500 change machine.
However you feel about big business, or any business we are all just trying to make a living, feed our families, provide jobs and at the end of the day have something to support our retirement. There is no company pension in a small business.
Due to insurance deductibles and impacts, this cost will be straight from the business. Which means it gets passed on to the customers. Big or small business, that’s how it works.
A frustrating day at the laundry but we get the info to the police, update the Facebook pages with pictures of the suspects (well I don’t consider them suspects) http://www.facebook.com/pages/Washin-Golden-Springs-Coin-Laundry/148978785158076 , order some parts and move on.
If you have any comments please post them below.
