This morning my husband and I went to get my car washed - lots of pollen & tree sap - we went to a car wash on Montauk Hwy by 7-11 (Spiffy of Lindenhurst) - pulled up - I got out to use the machine - a chunky Hispanic guy comes over and says "If you use the machine yourself, it charges another $5.00) I didn't know if he was kidding - apparently you are not supposed to use the machine - so I told him I wanted standard wash ($9) - he tries to upsell me the $14.00 wash - meanwhile, my husband is in the car listening, getting mad, says to the guy, stop talking to my wife and says to me to get in the car - We are done here. The guy curses at him and calls him out on it - my husband says, "you want to fight a 72 year old man?"
So we went to Washville in Amityville - I got out to use the machine - attendent (woman) comes over and says I can't use the machine, she has to do it - she starts hitting buttons - $11.00 for standard wash - I asked for a receipt - she forgets to hit that button - says "oops".
Not much of a story but I pay 68 for a “deluxe” cash wash before tips when I’m to busy to do it myself. Well worth the money.
A quick search shows washvilles cheapest wash is 10 dollars before tax. So I don’t see the issue with them. Maybe she owes you .135 cents ?
I don’t think someone is upselling you if your car is covered in heavy pollen and tree sap. Seems like he was maybe trying to explain that you needed something better.
Tree sap isn’t coming out with a basic wash and will ruin your clear coat.

Seriously? This belongs over in the "Why do people brag about weird things" thread in the Psychology forum.
No one is bragging. It’s listed car wash stories and the posters prices are listed maybe they need a reference point. Maybe ask the poster why she decided to list the workers “heavy” build” and ethnicity when describing her prices and maybe refer her to the psychology forums.

The car wash on LI Avenue in Deer Park is fantastic, Pooran . Everyone
is so nice . They give you a free car wash for every five washes and they have a clean comfortable waiting room and coffee and cupcakes .

Get off your fat lazy behinds and wash your own damn car. All those washes do is take their dirty brushes from every car that we t in front of yours then wipes them on your car.
All you get is watered down diluted products and pay top dollar.

What is going on?
You have a lot of confusion and anger.
In the future use google to find a self-service wash. There looks to be one near Spiffy.

My husband is 72 with stage 4 cancer and I am 68 with tendonitis. We live in apartment complex with no access to garden hose. We still try to keep our cars nice and clean. Unlike you, who is probably still driving a 1964 Dodge Dart that your mommy bought you. When you wash your car at home, all the water/soap goes into the ground water. At least at a car wash, the water is reclaimed and filtered.
Long time ago I was a teenager and I had a flat tire that I was using a "Donut" spare tire. I didn't have the money to replace the flat but I did have enough to go get the car washed. It was one of those car wash's that drag the car on a track through by the rear drivers seat tire. Which happened to be where I had the Donut Spare.
The car made it all the way through the car wash till the end. I could not seem to get the car to move forward. I hit the gas a little more and the car spun out and all I remember was the car wash employee's diving to get out of the way. Thank God no one got hurt.
My friends went back to the same car wash not long after and there was a big sign. No Donut spare tire allowed!!!!
