Justin, there is a one time charge for the card. I buy them for $1.50 and sell them for $1.50. However there is no charge to the card for use of the rest room. I do monitor the card access and I invalidate the cards of those people who do not do laundry. I strictly enforce the concept that my restroom is for customers ONLY. That is why they are clean! Next time insert your card in the kiosk and get the balance and then use it at the restroom. Afterwards check the balance again and you will see it remains the same--even it the balance is zero.
Must be new last time I used it, it was free, I guess will not use again. Why he would do this makes no sense, guess he figures where trapped and therefore he can make a profit what a crook.
