Gross. We've gotten 4-5 new ones in our area in the last year. This Starbucks mention is way off base for the 90s, though: “One came to town, and people said, ‘$5 for a coffee, surely nobody will buy more than one cup a day.’ It was still $1 for the longest time, maybe $2 by 2020.

Fancy lattes and frappuccinos were < $3 in the 00s. Maybe they're adjusting for inflation? Anyway, I don't understand the fascination of car washes by users, either.

I don't either. I've got a flow meter on my hose. I use 17 gallons per car wash. That works out to about $.24 per car wash. It also drains into a small wilding area in my yard. Win/win. For an additional win...that 30 minutes washing my car is the best ZEN ever!!!!!!!
