Washboard: Quarters for laundry delivered monthly

This actually isn't a joke? I got to the point where it asks for a credit card number, seriously expecting (hoping maybe?) for a "Haha!" message, and yet...

It's like someone read the New York Magazine Article “Let’s, Like, Demolish Laundry” (http://nymag.com/news/features/laundry-apps-2014-5/) and completely missed the point.

I would not be surprised if they already have $1M seed funding. You can't just create quarters out of thin air, after all!

Seriously though, I sure hope they spent as much time on the business model and idea as they did on their design and UI.

> Grocery and convenience stores aren't always willing to give out more than a few dollars worth of quarters at a time.

Since when did that happen? I live in TO and as long as you buy something from the store, they're always willing to give back change.
