Car wash places are super expensive here too and they do a piss poor job. You pay $20 and your car is still dirty. It's annoying. I know how you feel being an errand boy. In the summer when my wife is at home she usually has be do stuff on my way home from work. I've gotten used to it, but I'd still rather just come home after working all day!
$20 = 17€
Full price for this wash was 30€ each!! I paid 10€ for it.
Sounds familiar from when I was working. However, it does reciprocate now :D
Wow, yeah, that is very bad. Do they do a yearly subscription over there? They do those here where you can get unlimited washes, but you have to pay like a couple hundred a year or so.
