    There should be a warning label on any establishment or product that requires a smartphone to use.

      There was a food truck I went to one time that required you to download some app to look at their menu and order your food. They refused to accept a credit card or cash. I walked. So fucking stupid. I don’t know why people allow shit like that to exist.

      How about this:

      At the apartments I recently moved out of, there were no quarter slots on the washing machines. They were an app that required a bluetooth connection to pay.

      So if you lived there and didn’t have a smartphone? Go fuck yourself, you don’t get to do laundry.

      Unless you bothered to check the laundry room when you were looking at the apartment, you wouldn’t know. No warnings.

        Tbf, my building also uses an app for laundry. However they also have a machine in the laundry rooms where you can purchase an NFC payment card and put money on it. So you can use it without the app. Is that not the case with yours? If not, that’s 100% fucked

        That depends a bit on if it was advertised or not to have a laundry room. At least here in NL it is more common to have your own washing machine than to use a shared one so having a laundry room would be an extra to start with.

        Still sucks though
