Not only is that real (on youtube even), it has an IMDb entry. 1 hour ago, strawhat said: I'm not sure what we're scheduled to get (4"? 8"?...eh, I'll find out tomorrow), but I don't plan on driving in it. I've got work I can avoid doing at home just as easily as at the office. Yeah, same here. Time of arrival and amounts are indeterminate. All I know for sure is I am sleeping late and spending the day in PJs. I've spent 7 of the last 8 days in the car either going to the vet or my own doctors, and I need a rest. The cat is doing much better, btw. We have prevented organ failure, but she's got a ways to go before she is healthy again. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having owned and operated a Coin Operated Equipment Business I'm afraid the "fix" involves a "system reboot" of the wetware involved.

haldir Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 "It's everyone's favorite game show -- will my 3rd guy show up tonight?" 330 & so far he is a no ahow. It must be nice to be able to show up whenever you want to & not have any repercussions about it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First post I read this morning - what a nice way to start my day. It's not even a coin door manufactured by my client/us. The credit card box mounted right next to the coin door was completely unharmed. They sent us the picture thinking we made both boxes/doors, looking for a quote for a replacement. We got to reply "Sorry, try X or Y for that door, we don't make one that size." 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK Then reprogram it to accept credit cards only —no cash— update the software accordingly, and that would ‘fix’ it?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure @Pezler the Polychromatic was joking, and I appreciated the humor. That's exactly the type of question some of our customers would ask. Customers who should know better. Had the wiring back to the equipment room not been damaged by the stress and fire, the credit card box would still be able to turn on the bay - no software update needed - though without the coin box, there is no rotary switch to select which product you get. Apparently our box is still responding to our system, and if someone were to swipe their credit card in it, it would still charge them and count time on our box - just no way to turn on the bay and control it. The wiring is the worst part of the damage here - the coin door looks to be a generic model sold by several different car wash supply companies, and if the wiring hadn't been damaged, would probably be a 15 minute swap out. The damage to the wiring insulation means at a minimum all the damaged wire/insulation has to be removed/stripped back. Depending on how far into the cable that went, it might not leave enough slack to reuse the existing wiring. And me personally, I would require that the entire cable run back to the equipment room was replaced, because there is no telling how far up into the cable & conduit the damage might have gone without visually inspecting it. Might work short term, but turn out to cause problems in the long term. Depending on the site, where the conduits go, how packed they are, and the distance, replacing that cable run could be anything from another15 minutes to an all day job. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First I asked him if they changed his schedule to 330 now & he was like "No" in a mumbly-kinda way, he tried to give me some lame excuse but I then laid into him (in a mild business manner of course, he's "precious" you know) but I told him, he needed to start showing up when he's scheduled as it puts me into a bind & I've gotta start sending texts to people that don't need texts at 330 in the morning. Namely the ast mgr who is off on Weds anyways. Told him he needs to start being more responsible about his actions & such. He kinda mumble something & then walked to the bathroom (as he was on his way to his usual first stop in the morning....). I've had it with him, thou I told the store director about his lateness again when she should up but then as she was saying hello to everyone in the morning, she came up to the 3rd guy & started asking him if he was excited for his birthday this Friday & how he was gonna celebrate it, etc etc. I started to leave the area, as it had that sick to your stomach feeling. It almost felt like whenever a person start baby talking to a beloved pet. Afterwards when it was just my co-worker & I told him, I think she was asking what kind of cake he wanted & if he wanted to have her pop out of it..... So in other words, nothing is gonna ever be done with this guy. I bet anything knowing that it's his Bday this Friday & me talking "mean" to him, he won't show up, it'll be anther no show & again, nothing will happen. 1 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
