that link doesn't seem to be leading me you what you meant
but google images says the original context is somewhere among 1900 images in Flickr at www.flickr.com/photos/tags/laundromat/
I looked through a few pages of them directly in the Flickr website and
so far my favorite is
"sorry we're open"
http://www.flickr.com/photos/crzyhorse/147062732/
also ok are...
"laundry basket parking only", but I don't allow my carts outside
http://www.flickr.com/photos/55314293@N00/163873681/
and
"brain wash"

I can't look at anymore, I've got to pack for a few days out of town.
A bartender and convenience store clerk will open and clean for me, my incredibly slow handyman will close, and maybe work on getting upstairs apartment ready to re-rent. There won't be any WDF until Monday evening
Just as I'm trying to get away for a long awaited vacation, the previous owner's single biggest customer called for oneday turnaround on 27 bags of kids summer camp (305 lbs). The camp was moving while I was buying and they built a laundry room at their new location. It seems they under-equipped with domestic tops. I'll give them some contacts for OPL distributors when I get back. I hope their youthful staff doesnt try to overstuff my MAT10 and MAT12 tops doing it themselves while I'm away. I tried to explain to the teenage girls who picked it up that the Dexter T300 & 400 work best for muddy summercamp mixed loads.

Good luck Dubois!! Do you have any fronts you can "force" them to use while you're gone? At least they can't overload them...
Thanks for the links. I'll check them. I know I messed that sign link up. Disappointing.
It had a Superman on it and it was talking about Super - Mega - Oversized loaders. I will keep looking.

Just curious, but wouldn't using a Superman logo or picture get you in trouble?

I'm guessing from the wording it might just be a mat from Australia. It is possible that they paid royalities however I'm Guessing a small Family mat might risk the fine.

that "Super" load one is clever, but I would be afraid of the copyright issue. I'll try to take some pictures while I'm here in San Diego although I don't recall any of the mats here having especially memorable signs. ( I was less mat-aware when I lived here though)
