Laundry Attendant

We have a quirky local laundromat, and we believe a lot in the way it brings communities together. We also believe in $15 minimum wage and other progressive ideals.

The attendant role not that complicated of a job. You are the attendant for a laundromat. You'll be there to help customers having problems with the machines. Drop off customers will give you their laundry to do. You will be handling money, transactions, and cash. With experience, there will be opportunities to learn more about training, payroll, bookkeeping, accounting, financial analysis, P&L, marketing, social media, email marketing, etc.

When it's not busy, you'll be reading, using social media or watching TV or silly videos online, listening to music, or doing your homework.

You will get paid $15 per hour PLUS tips PLUS 10% of the Wash & Fold business that you wash and fold. We prefer if you were able to work 2 or more 6-hour shifts per week. We are open 7 days a week. The shifts are 8am to 2pm and 2pm to 8pm. If we get really busy, we might have after-hour shifts.

Application Question(s):

• When are you available to start?
• We have shifts from 8am to 210pm and from 150pm to 8pm 7 days a week. What's your availability?
• Why do you want this job? Why do you want to work at THIS laundromat?
• Our laundromat acts as a dual space for the community. We have been featured on TV, we have had puppet shows, we have thrown parties, we also have movie nights. If you could host an event at the laundromat, what would it be and why?
• How many miles are you from the laundromat?
• We deal with a lot of cash. Why do you think we can trust you not to steal? Do you have references? Who are they and what are their phone numbers? Do you use illicit drugs? Which ones? How often?
• There's a gold disco ball in the laundromat, and you can play whatever music you want while you work. What music would you play and why?
• What are your social media links or handles? If you don't have social media, why not?
• There's an antique typewriter on a desk in the free library of the laundromat. Every now and then an anonymous stranger puts a new piece of paper in it with a short phrase or thought, like a marquee in front of a church. If you are that anonymous person, what message would you want customers to see?
• What are your political affiliations or beliefs? Why? Who did you vote for in the 2020 elections? Why?
