That's how it works in security. It is unethical to not give the company time to react before public disclosure.
Dont disclose it. Let people who cant afford wash their clothes
That's theft
They are likely stealing wages so who gives a shit
I think they meant that if the students hadn't told the company, they and their classmates could have done their laundry for free.
That is still not ethical and qualifies as stealing
They charge $2.50 a load these days. They’re the ones that are stealing.
Bruh, I worked for laundry company in Ottawa. Many landlords were charging $4.50 CAD for a wash and $2.50 for a dry back in 2015. I shudder to think how high its gotten now.
Fucking shit ass garbage company. Boss was a smarmy cunt too. "Walked 10 miles up hill both ways to school" kind of prick.
Laundry is a basic service that should be easily affordable for everyone. Charging a premium for it is scummy.
Steal from landlord laundry every chance you get.
Then don't use them. I really doubt they are making a ton off of a laundromat. If you can't find an alternative place open your own and get a new source of income.
I just don't believe in theft
Hey, me either, but telling someone "you don't like it? Open your own laundromat or shut up" is some stupid shit.
serious question, are you a bit slow?
If you're the kind of person who uses laundromats, you're not the kind of person who can afford to open one.
