      That’s how it works in security. It is unethical to not give the company time to react before public disclosure.

        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.

              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.

                If you’re the kind of person who uses laundromats, you’re not the kind of person who can afford to open one.

                    Hey, me either, but telling someone “you don’t like it? Open your own laundromat or shut up” is some stupid shit.

              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.
