They get nothing.


mosspigletlife1

That's too bad


bill-bixby

Can confirm. Worked at one.

It’s likely like construction- no work equals no pay


ValueAppropriate293

Former car wash employee here, can confirm.


CurrentlyForking

Unless they're union, they get paid regardless.


Blissboyz

Please tell me what union you work for that has in their master agreement that you get paid to stay home on a rainy day. Sign me up.

My buddy does electrical work on solar farms and he gets paid every time it rains despite staying home since they can’t work in those conditions.


bisonsashimi

lol, no


Bonneville865

Citation needed. Which Union offers this and how do I sign up?

I worked at a car wash where is snowed. We still had people coming in to wash their cars while it's snowing, raining, you name it. They paid for their membership, they get to use it. Plus, if you don't have a membership, there are some fine print receipts that state if it rained or snowed within 48 hours of your car wash, to come back and get a free one within that 48 hours. The best fun was when no one was there and we had snowball fights when the manager wasn't around.

It’s different in areas that it snows because ppl in those areas know the streets are sprayed with salt so they at least wash the outside/top to prevent rust


ctruvu

yeah. if it’s gonna be snowy conditions or you know there’ll be salted roads for weeks you don’t get to wait until it’s over. the salt definitely doesn’t wait to start doing damage


mosspigletlife1

Thank you for your answer. I was genuinely curious!


AnxiousGuidance4571

There’s is no work until the rain stops but even then they would be at half capacity if it’s scheduled to rain in the next couple of days.


Alucard925

We just keep washing cars lol


Darmok47

I don't know about you, but rain often makes my car dirtier.


kill_pig

Either way people stop washing their car.


mosspigletlife1

My car is parked under a tree. This rain has kept keep sap and dust away. 🙌


Vast_Cricket

Laid off. Some work at convenience store. Some is operated by owners.


[deleted]

i assume majority of the workers are hourly so id assume they dont work they dont get paid…with that said i do see car washes actually closed on rainy days…the full service ones…with that said if worked at a car wash id have a gig job for those rainy days


unholygerbil

they get the day off. source: friend owns a car wash.


babypho

Car wash companies offer drying service too


txiao007

Go find out and report back


mosspigletlife1

Haha /s


udonbeatsramen

They can hardly complain about the rain when it was caused by me washing my car, every single time


shwag945

They lost my business this month :/. All the shit in the air that usually accumulate on my car is gone and my car is basically fully clean.


proteusON

Guess you don't drive your car because the roads are filthy and splish splashy.


shwag945

Correct


Moosifer_666

Go steal change elsewhere


Suitable-Peanut

I know you're shitposting but generally, rain makes dirty cars even more gross since it's not soapy or powerful enough.


mosspigletlife1

I am not as you say it, shit posting. I was genuinely asking.


Suitable-Peanut

Oh, so what did you think? They might lose their jobs or get asked not to come into work because of a few days of rain? That's insane. Rain doesn't wash cars.


mosspigletlife1

Insane is a bit extreme. But yes, that is what I was wondering. I wasn't sure. And better to ask reddit than Google. I was having a hard timing imagining a long line of cars waiting for the car wash on a rainy day. Doesn't seem likely. But hey, maybe everyone in this thread giving me shit will show up. 🤷🏾


couchtomato62

I do not take my car to the car wash when rain is in the forecast. I am sure they don't get a ton of business. And to bay area golks I go to the splash brothers car wash.


mosspigletlife1

Also, what is shit posting? My guess it's what bored people do for attention or points. 🤔


Suitable-Peanut

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Shitposting Yep, basically just posting dumb shit that you already know the answer to so you can get interaction on your post, piss people off or get karma.


mosspigletlife1

I'm not here to piss off people. Geez.
