... is it just me or would this be an incredible perk? If a roll of quarters and an envelope with $250 worth of $1, $5, and $20 bills were delivered to my desk every month I'd save a lot of time going to the ATM or the laundromat for tips/laundry/cash-only restaurants/etc. I think I'd willingly give up a lot more of my salary than it's actually worth for the convenience of perks like that. Free laundry (like, full wash and fold and dry cleaning)? Shit, for that I'd probably take a $95K job over a $100K job (all other things being equal) even though it's really worth ~$1000 at most (comparing against the cost of laundry services, not machines, of course). Does Facebook still have that?
- shurane 14y agoYou sound almost sarcastic there, but I'm guessing you respond in earnest?
- FaceKicker 14y agoI think I may have been slightly exaggerating about trading 5K a year in income for free full service laundry, but I was mostly serious :)

OK. Give me your postal details, pay me $1000 per month, and I can organise that for you.
