## Summary

Michael Orlitzky decided laundry would be free after CSC Serviceworks replaced all the machines in his building with coin-op or app-powered ones about a week ahead of schedule, leaving any cash on laundry cards worthless and unusable. Orlitzky said one new machine ate his quarters and left his first load stuck on the cold setting, forcing him to pay another $2 and move his belongings. After an hour on hold with CSC customer service, he was told to seek a refund through a website that required installing CSC's app.

Michael Orlitzky was not having a good day with his laundry. First CSC Serviceworks, a laundry management company, replaced all of the machines in his building with new coin-op or app-powered ones. The card reading machines had been an issue for years because the cards would stop working and the recharge machine would steal dollar bills, Orlitzky said. Now he had another enemy with its own quirks to get used to. Plus, CSC had replaced the machines about a week ahead of schedule, meaning that any cash on his or others’ laundry cards was now worthless and unusable.

Then, one of the new machines ate his quarters. The first machine was stuck on the cold setting, and he had to pay another $2 and move all of his belongings to another machine. He called CSC customer service and was on hold for an hour. CSC eventually told him to get a refund through the company’s website, which in turn insisted he install CSC’s app to proceed.

“That was the day I decided laundry would be free,” Orlitzky told 404 Media in an email.
