Coin-op laundry machines

You know what I hate? Coin-op Laundry machines. My first memories of doing laundry were sitting in a laundromat, watching my mother throw clothes into a machine and then fiddle around with change. Oh how quaint we were back in the very early 90s. And yet, here we are, nearing the middle of the 2010 decade and I'm still fumbling around with change for the exact same machines. The only thing different now is the price, it costs even more to do the same amount of laundry. Why? It would be a lot more advantageous to just buy regular machines and add a $20 surcharge to our monthly rent. That's $5 a week on laundry, which is far less than what I currently spend. But I'd pay it, gladly, just so I wouldn't have to deal with change again.
