This is the America I love (29.media.tumblr.com)

[–]JasonGold 123 points124 points125 points 11 months ago
At the college that I go to, they started a program where people who have little money can get free dress clothes for an interview. I think it's a pretty cool idea.
[–][deleted] 7 points8 points9 points 11 months ago
At the school I went to we were required to get jobs. This meant getting placed all over the world if you had to. The Student Advisers had a budget which included buying clothes and flight/car/train/boat arrangements etc. It wasn't a lot and most of the time you had to foot 80% the cost but it was a nice boost if you were at square one to get a job.

The one where marketing graduates work in launderettes.
[–]markio 30 points31 points32 points 11 months ago
the first thing I thought when I saw this was the term "loss-leader"
[–]toast_recon 34 points35 points36 points 11 months ago*
Yup. Give it to them free when they don't have the means so they feel indebted to you when they get the job and DO have the means. Most of the costs in drycleaning are overhead, so any additional customers they get are probably 90%+ profit.
Edit: Grammars
[–]sheerheartattack 42 points43 points44 points 11 months ago
Also, charitable branding. A dry cleaner is a dry cleaner is a dry cleaner. Might as well go to the one that is ostensibly doing good things.

Cynics, the lot of you.
[–]RTJohn 17 points18 points19 points 11 months ago
Seriously. What the FUCK guys? Its called mutual benefit, not deceptive marketing. Just because it ends up working out for everyone people can't just accept acts of good will.
[–]sheerheartattack 13 points14 points15 points 11 months ago
No one said anything about deception except you.
[–]potatogun 11 points12 points13 points 11 months ago
Who said it can't be a good business strategy and also just goodness? The two aren't mutually exclusive.
[–]distantlover 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago
Last I heard, it is a good biz strategy to be well-respected on the community.
[–]Bipolarruledout 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago
First of all it's impossible to know what effect this will have. Second of all if you could measure it (maybe) you would not know how much the increase in sales was due to paid customers who appreciate supporting a good cause. Brand perception via word of mouth can be worth a lot. Lastly who gives a fuck? If they can't afford to keep offering it then they will stop.

[–]Undead_President 232 points233 points234 points 11 months ago
This picture may be old but I live about 5 blocks from this place, and yes it still has the sign and is still open daily.
[–]Mr_Tulip 65 points66 points67 points 11 months ago
That makes me happy.
Well, that and this half-liter mug of rum.
[–]too_tsunami 13 points14 points15 points 11 months ago
You should soak a ham in that rum.
[–]claudemonet 12 points13 points14 points 11 months ago
RUUUUUUUMHAAAAAM!
[–]tokomini 15 points16 points17 points 11 months ago
Half liter mug of rum. sniff Where are you from, exactly?
[–]Mr_Tulip 17 points18 points19 points 11 months ago
Various parts of Ohio for the most part. I went with the rum because we're running low on bourbon, and I'd have to change out of my robe to go buy more.
[–]b5200 31 points32 points33 points 11 months ago
Or you could take this opportunity to be the guy buying bourbon in a robe.
I only do that when I'm in Cleveland. I'm not sure why.
Because you relish the thought of a cold breeze swirling past your Charlie Browns.
[–]rasori 4 points5 points6 points 11 months ago
I'd call them my Charlie Browns, but it's awkward because my name's Charlie and the first syllable of my last name sounds a lot like Brown.
[–]jasonefmonk 4 points5 points6 points 11 months ago

[–]awesomerobot 3 points4 points5 points 11 months ago
I think that's the point where a mug becomes a bucket.
[–]Mr_Tulip 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago
Well it's not yet. Though the rum has become bourbon, because I found some Evan Williams lying around.
[–]bigwhale 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago
You, sir, have inspired me to pour some whiskey. It's going to go perfectly with this cold rain.

Sunny-D and rum.
Yum, yuuuum.
[–]mbemom 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago
That makes me happy as well, although I can't drink rum. So that and the bottle of beer in my hand!

[–]Undead_President 4 points5 points6 points 11 months ago
It's been posted elsewhere in this thread, but it's Plaza Cleaners in Portland, OR. Specifically, their Pearl District location.

Just seven. It's a common misconception that Portland is a big city.
[–]byronotron 6 points7 points8 points 11 months ago
supposedly, the reddit usage statistics rate it as the third largest user base after Austin, and Denver.
[–]trailblazery 4 points5 points6 points 11 months ago
At least 6,896
[–]Sajun 5 points6 points7 points 11 months ago
It's actually brilliant marketing. When you need a dry cleaner once you have the job - where's the first place you're gunna go?
[–]qyasogk 13 points14 points15 points 11 months ago
People that show that kind of compassion, are rewarded with EXTREMELY loyal customers.
[–]mkvgtired 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago
And rightfully so. Once those people get jobs what they did will probably pay them back 100 times. Still an excellent service for someone who has no money and needs their suit cleaned.
[–]ZidTheOne 24 points25 points26 points 11 months ago

Oh hey, is this a dry cleaner in Portland? On Everett? Just walked past that place, wondered how they make sure you're actually unemployed.
[–]Serinus 19 points20 points21 points 11 months ago
Should they really need to make sure?
[–]Incalite 11 points12 points13 points 11 months ago
I don't think they have anything to make sure, really. They just hope that if they're a kind and honest business, they'll get kind and honest customers.
[–]BuskersAndLou 4 points5 points6 points 11 months ago
I thought about going there a couple of times to get my wedding suit dry cleaned, because technically I was homeless (living out of my van while saving money to get married and move to Scotland), but I thought that would be a dick move on my part.
[–]Incalite 5 points6 points7 points 11 months ago
Don't ever think it's bad to receive charity -- just think it bad if you don't give anything back. (Really, your gratitude is the payment for people like them.)
Hopefully you made it to Scotland with a lovely bride then? (Or groom, that's cool too lol)
[–]MegaThrustEarthquake 5 points6 points7 points 11 months ago
In oregon its not too hard to differentiate
[–]MegaThrustEarthquake 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago
That's not the Oregon I grew up in. I am from Eugene (Hippie Capital) and you can definitely tell the difference between a hippy, a college student, and a homeless person
[–]doesurmindglow 2 points3 points4 points 11 months ago
It's in Portland. It's the dry cleaners on Glisan (I think, maybe Hoyt?) in the Pearl. I've had clothes dry-cleaned there a half-dozen times or so. I've never had the occasion to use their free offer, but I think it's really cool that they do this.
That being said, I'm not sure "Portland" is always what people think of when they think "America." We're not "real Americans" after all, I guess.
It's easy, you just live in Portland.
[–]iveforgottencursive 64 points65 points66 points 11 months ago

And the hospital next door said "if you are unemployed and need healthcare to live, you should have been born in Canada".

That may be a sign you need to raise your prices. Not always, but people who call their business income 'side money' often undervalue it.
I can get behind this.

For real, people. It doesn't matter where this happened. The fact that it did at all should be enough to make you feel all warm and fuzzy.
[–]eramos 38 points39 points40 points 11 months ago*
Exactly. The critical thing to remember when faced with a positive/negative story is:
If it's good, try as hard as possible to not give Americans credit by generalizing to humanity or deflect the credit to another Reddit Approved™ country (surely one of people involved must have Norwegian ancestry?)
If it's bad, shoehorn and use red herrings to their fullest extend so you can restrict the blame solely on Americans (for example, there is probably a McDonalds nearby - bam, that's your in. America's fault).
[–]cannonball1895 8 points9 points10 points 11 months ago
Reddit Approved™ country
Lol...I hadn't heard that one before.
[–]JayGatsby727 6 points7 points8 points 11 months ago
Thanks for the helpful guide! Would read again.
Holy shit, are you a physiologist studying reddit? This seems 100% accurate.
[–]akula 2 points3 points4 points 11 months ago
Or a fantastic marketing idea to gain long time loyal customers once they land that job.
This is why I love Portland.
[–]Bipolarruledout 2 points3 points4 points 11 months ago
We've seen you in here before congressman, for the last time you are not unemployed.
[–]davendak 2 points3 points4 points 11 months ago
One thing I've noticed, for as much as some people in our country hate immigrants, such as those whom probably own this dry cleaning business--they are the ones who never forgot America, and are in fact what America was all about. They are the ones who believe in second chances, in being kind to strangers, and in opportunity--and in returning the helping hands that once helped them. I wish more people in our country could be like these good folks--we wouldn't be where we are today.
[–]gistak 2 points3 points4 points 11 months ago
You assume that they're immigrants because they own a dry cleaners? Is this based on some stat?
People who hate immigrants are idiotic. People who have a problem with ILLEGAL immigration are less idiotic, but sometimes do froth at the mouth a bit much.
I think America is the most welcoming place for immigrants just judging by the general perceptions. As you mentioned they are usually the ones that have their eye on the American dream. The vast majority of immigrants I know are extremely successful (several are mid 20s millionaires).
I got downvoted when I mentioned this before, but from my experience it isnt confederate flag waving rednecks, but immigrants that are the most pro-American people I've ever met.
Immigrants are the best gift we can get from another country IMHO.

[–]Offensive_Brute 27 points28 points29 points 11 months ago
Its not socialism when private enterprise does it for publicity, or when private citizens to it for a tax write off, or God Forbid out of the kindness of their heart. Then its called charity.
[–]wtfbirds 10 points11 points12 points 11 months ago
Whoosh
[–]0zXp1r8HEcJk1 8 points9 points10 points 11 months ago
It doesn't matter what Web3d actually meant. What matters is the message a lot of people will take from it. Without this comment, I'm afraid a lot of people wouldn't make the connection.
[–]hivoltage815 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago
I cringe when this type of comment always gets upvotes on these types of posts.
This is a private party voluntarily providing charity. That is the very essence of what anti-socialist, free market proponents support: community service without force or coercion.
[–][deleted] 5 points6 points7 points 11 months ago*
A message lost on most people. Like the response in another place in this thread "How do they verify you are unemployed" - you don't - they don't have to verify because they aren't obligated to do it, no bureaucracy, no BS, just helping out someone and getting good reputation in the local community.
That is the very essence of what anti-socialist, free market proponents support
But that's not who the above post is making fun of. There's people who can articulate what the dislike about socialism, and then there's the kneejerk, "everyone who disagrees with me is an evil godless socialist" types. The above post is making fun of the latter.
Man, I cringe when someone misses the obvious joke and makes a painfully earnest rebuttal.
[–]TheDentite 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago
He understood it was meant as a joke.
[–]wtfbirds -1 points0 points1 point 11 months ago
Again, whoosh
[–]hivoltage815 8 points9 points10 points 11 months ago
In order for a joke to be valid or funny it has to make sense. This was a clear attempt at satire to expose conservative views as heartless, when this picture is in no way incompatable with capitalism, in fact, it is a good example of it done right.
[–]gistak 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago
I, personally, was walking down the street with a colleague who saw a guy give a beggar some money, and said:
"Sir, please don't give that man money and validate his bad choices in life!"
The joke comment is for people like my colleague. but I agree with you that it's frustrating when people think that that thinking represents what most people mean when they talk about capitalism.

More businesses need to embrace this example. To help out your fellow man/woman is the most important lesson to be taken in this economic downturn. A sponsored program to set this in motion in other companies would be an excellent idea. Anyone agree?

[–]cannonball1895 2 points3 points4 points 11 months ago
I don't think they'd seek proof. Does it really cost the dry cleaner that much to clean one outfit? I wouldn't think so, and if the person ended up getting a job, then I imagine they'd speak very favorably of the dry cleaner and maybe use their services in the future.
Regardless, it's just a really nice thing to do that probably only helps their business.

In the country I love, unemployed people don't need that kind of charity.
(Just to clarify: that country exists. In fact, this probably goes for most western countries that are not America.)
Because they're on the dole? So they do get the charity, but by forcing everyone else to pay for it. Is that what you mean, or something else?
Incidentally, I've known people on the dole, and they'd have LOVED to have free dry cleaning, because the dole isn't actually that much money.

At first I thought it meant "come in and clean your outfit yourself as your interview to work here"

If Good Guy Greg was a store..
The wash is free but the soap is $99.99
[–]modernelement 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago
I do this at my dry cleaners too.
[–]w0rdk3v 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago
It's generous to clean outfits free for people for their interviews.

That's a fine marketing trick which does some good for people down on their luck. BRAVO

You found the physical version of reddit, good job. Just kidding, there's not enough Chuck Testa and cats posted all over the windows.

What if you want to interview for the dry cleaner ?

Apparently the America you love is a very, very tiny place.

I don't think that this is an exclusively American thing...
starting to look pretty much third world to me.
I like how countries differ in wearing suits.
In Japan I have to wear a suit always In America I wore a suit during my interview, but never after In Holland I wore a pair of nice jeans, a nice shirt and a hip blazer to my job interview, for a 120K a year consulting job at the largest consulting firm they have there, got hired as well.
If you're not gonna wear a suit during your daily job, don't wear one during your interview, it's stupid.
