Self-Service laundrette: Places exist that do both

[westnordost]

I got this feedback via email

Just trying the latest Beta, it's looking good. I noticed the quest regarding laundry/ launderette. The Laundry in the screenshot, allows self service, or a a member of staff performing this service. Can I suggest that 'Both' is added as an option? This is very common, certainly in the UK.

So, it should maybe be three answer options:

1. self service only -> self_service=yes + laundry_service=no
2. no self service -> self_service=no + laundry_service=yes
3. ??? -> self_service=yes + laundry_service=yes

Alternatively, the wording could be changed to specifically asking for self service (and not "Is this a...").

The third answer could be "Optional"

Thanks for raising this, Tobias.

In the UK, the term 'Service Wash' is used, when someone performs the service on behalf of the customer.

Could the third option be: "Self Service and Service Wash available"

Not sure whether this would make sense outside of the UK.

Thanks,

Chris

This could be done in the British translation (although would mean another English speaker in the UK wouldn't see that phrasing).

I'd rephrase the question: "What laundry services are available here?"

Answers (as Image picker?)

• Self service only (a laundromat)
• Service wash only (human behind desk)
• It offers both (??)

I like @FloEdelmann suggestion. Would this make sense?:

"Is this a self-service laundry?"
Yes | No | Optional

"Is this a self-service laundry?"
Yes | No | Optional

I'd probably guess what was meant, but it does not sound as ideal answer (in combination with that question).

If the question was "Does this laundry provide a self-service?" instead, then the "(it's) optional" would sound much more understandable to me (as a non-native speaker).

Also, @kmpoppe suggestion is IMHO even more clear about what exactly is being asked (but requires a more verbose quest type).

The quest is now:

Does this laundry provide a self-service?
[No] [Optionally] [Only]
